[PART5 Patch 0/5] introduce a new boot option 'kernelcore_max_addr'

[PART5 Patch 0/5] introduce a new boot option 'kernelcore_max_addr'

[Wen Congyang]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch is part5 of the following patchset:
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/29/319

The patchset is based on Linus's tree with these three patches already applied:
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/24/151
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/26/150

Part1 is here:
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/31/30

Part2 is here:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135166705909544&w=2

Part3 is here:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135167050510527&w=2

Part4 is here:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135167344211401&w=2

You can apply this patch without the other parts. But it only can work with
part1-5.

We need something like kernelcore_max_addr=XX boot option to limit the
kernelcore upper address.

The memory with higher address will be migratable(movable) and they
are easier to be offline(always ready to be offline when the system don't require
so much memory).

It makes things easy when we dynamic hot-add/remove memory, make better
utilities of memories, and helps for THP.

[PART5 Patch 1/5] page_alloc: add kernelcore_max_addr

[Wen Congyang]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Current ZONE_MOVABLE (kernelcore=) setting policy with boot option doesn't meet
our requirement. We need something like kernelcore_max_addr=XX boot option
to limit the kernelcore upper address.

The memory with higher address will be migratable(movable) and they
are easier to be offline(always ready to be offline when the system don't require
so much memory).

It makes things easy when we dynamic hot-add/remove memory, make better
utilities of memories, and helps for THP.

All kernelcore_max_addr=, kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified
at the same time(or any 2 of them).

[PART5 Patch 2/5] x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node

[Wen Congyang]

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com>

If system can create movable node which all memory of the
node is allocated as ZONE_MOVABLE, setup_node_data() cannot
allocate memory for the node's pg_data_t.
So when memblock_alloc_nid() fails, setup_node_data() retries
memblock_alloc().

[PART5 Patch 4/5] memblock: limit memory address from memblock

[Wen Congyang]

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com>

Setting kernelcore_max_pfn means all memory which is bigger than
the boot parameter is allocated as ZONE_MOVABLE. So memory which
is allocated by memblock also should be limited by the parameter.

The patch limits memory from memblock.

[PART5 Patch 5/5] memblock: compare current_limit with end variable at memblock_find_in_range_node()

[Wen Congyang]

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com>

memblock_find_in_range_node() does not compare memblock.current_limit
with end variable. Thus even if memblock.current_limit is smaller than
end variable, the function allocates memory address that is bigger than
memblock.current_limit.

The patch adds the check to "memblock_find_in_range_node()"

Re: [PART5 Patch 1/5] page_alloc: add kernelcore_max_addr

[Tang Chen]

Hi Randy,

Thank you for your reviewing. :)

I think this boot option has been dropped. And we are implementing a new
boot option called "movablecore_map" to replace it.

Please refer to the following url if you like:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/19/51

Thanks. :)
