[PATCH v5 0/4] HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page

[PATCH v5 0/4] HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page

[ysxie]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>

Hi Andrew,
Could you please help to abandon the v3 of this patch for it will compile
error with CONFIG_MIGRATION=n, and it also has error path handling problem.
I am so sorry about troubling you.

Hi Michal, Minchan and all,
Could you please help to review it?

Any suggestion is more than welcome. And Thanks for all of you.

After Minchan's commit bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable
page migration"), some type of non-lru page like zsmalloc and virtio-balloon
page also support migration.

Therefore, we can:
1) soft offlining no-lru movable pages, which means when memory corrected
errors occur on a non-lru movable page, we can stop to use it by migrating
data onto another page and disable the original (maybe half-broken) one.

2) enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages, i.e. we may offline
blocks, which include such pages, by using non-lru page migration.

This patchset is heavily depend on non-lru movable page migration.
--------
v5:
 * change the return type of isolate_movable_page() from bool to int as
   Michal's suggestion.
 * add "enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages" to this patchset,
   which also make some change as Michal's suggestion here.

v4:
 * make isolate_movable_page always defined to avoid compile error with
   CONFIG_MIGRATION = n
 * return -EBUSY when isolate_movable_page return false which means failed
   to isolate movable page.

v3:
  * delete some unneed limitation and use !__PageMovable instead of PageLRU
    after isolate page to avoid isolated count mismatch, as Minchan Kim's suggestion.

v2:
 * delete function soft_offline_movable_page() and hanle non-lru movable
   page in __soft_offline_page() as Michal Hocko suggested.

[PATCH v5 1/4] mm/migration: make isolate_movable_page() return int type

[ysxie]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>

This patch changes the return type of isolate_movable_page()
from bool to int. It will return 0 when isolate movable page
successfully, return -EINVAL when the page is not a non-lru movable
page, and for other cases it will return -EBUSY.

There is no functional change within this patch but prepare
for later patch.

Sorry for missing this one you guys were discussing.
I don't understand the patch's goal although I read later patches.

isolate_movable_pages returns success/fail so that's why I selected
bool rather than int but it seems you guys want to propagate more
detailed error to the user so added -EBUSY and -EINVAL.

But the question is why isolate_lru_pages doesn't have -EINVAL?
Secondly, madvise man page should update?
Thirdly, if a driver fail isolation due to -ENOMEM, it should be
propagated, too?

if we want to propagte detailed error to user, driver's isolate_page
function should return right error.

I don't feel this all changes should be done now. What's the problem
if we change isolate_lru_page from int to bool? it returns just binary
value so it should be right place to use bool. If it fails, error val
is just -EBUSY.

The point is that the failed isolation has to propagate error up the
call chain to the userspace which has initiated the migration.

It doesn't have to same as isolate_movable_pages. We should just return
EBUSY when the page is no longer movable.

Why?

We really want to propagate the reason why the offline operation has
failed. Why would we want to postpone that?

Why isolate_lru_page is okay to return -EBUSY in case of race while
isolate_movable_page should return -EINVAL?
What's the logic in your mind? I totally cannot understand.

man page of madvise doesn't say anything about the error propagation
for soft_offline.

It seems we are okay to return just -EBUSY until now but now you try to
return more various error. I don't understand what problem you are
seeing with just -EBUSY. Anyway, if you want to do it, it should be able
to propagate error from driver side. That means it should make rule
what kinds of error driver can return. Please write down it to
Documentation/vm/page_migration and fix zsmalloc/virtio-balloon, too.

I'm not against but if you want to do it, just do it rightly.

Let me rephrase. Both should return EBUSY.

It means it's binary return value(success: 0 fail : -EBUSY) so IMO,
bool is better and caller should return -EBUSY if that functions
returns *false*. No need to make deeper propagation level.
Anyway, it's trivial so I'm not against it if you want to make
isolate_movable_page returns int. Insetad, please remove -EINVAL
in this patch and just return -EBUSY for isolate_movable_page to
be consistent with isolate_lru_page.
Then, we don't need to fix any driver side, either. Even, no need to
update any document because you don't add any new error value.

That's enough.

Sorry, that's my mistake for error understanding code.
You're right. It should be EBUSY if it is in race, I will change it.

[PATCH v5 2/4] mm/migration: make isolate_movable_page always defined

[ysxie]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>

Define isolate_movable_page as a static inline function when
CONFIG_MIGRATION is not enable. It should return -EBUSY
here which means failed to isolate movable pages.

This patch do not have any functional change but prepare for
later patch.

[PATCH v5 3/4] HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page

[ysxie]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>

This patch is to extends soft offlining framework to support
non-lru page, which already support migration after
commit bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page
migration")

When memory corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page,
we can choose to stop using it by migrating data onto another
page and disable the original (maybe half-broken) one.
