Subject: [PATCH v9 2/4] mm/page_owner: add NUMA node filter
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 16:16:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525081652.2210206-3-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525081652.2210206-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>

Add NUMA node filtering functionality to page_owner to allow filtering
pages by specific NUMA node(s). This is useful for NUMA-aware memory
allocation analysis and debugging.

The filter supports flexible input formats:
- Single node: nid=0
- Multiple nodes: nid=0,2,3
- Node range: nid=0-3
- Mixed format: nid=0,2-4,7

Example usage:
  # Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended)
  ./page_owner_filter -n 0-3
  ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n 0,2-4,7

The implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in
file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter
configuration. It uses nodemask_t for efficient multi-node filtering and
nodelist_parse() for flexible input parsing. Node validity is verified
using nodes_subset() to reject nodes without memory.

Changes in v9:
- Add spinlock protection for NUMA filter state access
- Use memdesc_nid() instead of page_to_nid() to bypass PF_POISONED_CHECK()

Changes in v8:
- Add cond_resched() in page iteration loop to prevent RCU stalls
- Reject empty nid list to avoid enabling an empty filter
- Improve comment: "Commit all filter changes"

Changes in v7:
- per-file-descriptor implementation

Changes in v6:
- Add node validity check using nodes_subset
  to reject invalid node numbers that don't exist in the system
- Move bool filter_by_nid declaration to top of block
- Use kmalloc_objs instead of kmalloc
- Remove 100 bytes overhead

Changes in v5:
- Optimize nodes_empty() check in page iteration loop
- Add __data_racy qualifier to nid_mask field

Changes in v4:
- Remove "-1" support, use empty string to clear filter
- Use strncpy_from_user() instead of copy_from_user()
- Add concurrency safety documentation for nid_mask access
- Rename fops to page_owner_nid_filter_fops for consistency

Changes in v3:
- Remove READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for nodemask_t (fixes compilation errors)
  * nodemask_t is a large structure (128 bytes) that triggers compile-time asserts
  * Direct assignment is safe for this use case
- Add comment explaining input length calculation formula
  * 6 bytes = ",NNNNN" (comma + 5-digit node number)
- Simplify "-1" check using kstrtoint() instead of dual strcmp()
- Move nodemask_t mask read outside PFN iteration loop for performance
  * Avoids 128-byte structure copy on each iteration

Changes in v2:
- Use nodemask_t instead of int to support multiple nodes
- Implement nodelist_parse() to support flexible input formats
  * Single node: "0", "2"
  * Multiple nodes: "0,2,3"
  * Ranges: "0-3"
  * Mixed: "0,2-4,7"
- Use %*pbl format for output (e.g., "0-2", "0,2-4,7")
- Use dynamic memory allocation (kmalloc) to handle variable-length input
- Follow cpuset's max_write_len pattern: (100 + 6 * MAX_NUMNODES)
