[PATCH 0/5] v2 De-couple sysfs memory directories from memory section size

[PATCH 0/5] v2 De-couple sysfs memory directories from memory section size

[Nathan Fontenot]

This set of patches de-couples the idea that there is a single
directory in sysfs for each memory section.  The intent of the
patches is to reduce the number of sysfs directories created to
resolve a boot-time performance issue.  On very large systems
boot time are getting very long (as seen on powerpc hardware)
due to the enormous number of sysfs directories being created.
On a system with 1 TB of memory we create ~63,000 directories.
For even larger systems boot times are being measured in hours.

This set of patches allows for each directory created in sysfs
to cover more than one memory section.  The default behavior for
sysfs directory creation is the same, in that each directory
represents a single memory section.  A new file 'end_phys_index'
in each directory contains the physical_id of the last memory
section covered by the directory so that users can easily
determine the memory section range of a directory.

For version 2 of this patchset the capability to split a
directory has been removed.

Thanks,

Nathan Fontenot

[PATCH 1/5] v2 Split the memory_block structure

[Nathan Fontenot]

Split the memory_block struct into a memory_block
struct to cover each sysfs directory and a new memory_block_section
struct for each memory section covered by the sysfs directory.
This change allows for creation of memory sysfs directories that
can span multiple memory sections.

This can be beneficial in that it can reduce the number of memory
sysfs directories created at boot.  This also allows different
architectures to define how many memory sections are covered by
a sysfs directory.

Hmm, this means memory cab be offlined the while memory block section. Right ?
Please write this fact in patch description...
And Documentaion/memory_hotplug.txt as "From user's perspective, memory section
is not a unit of memory hotplug anymore".
And descirbe about a new rule.

Why re-enable only ? online->fail->offline never happens ?
If so, please add comment at least.
BTW, is it guaranteed that all sections under a block has same state after
boot ?

I don't say strongly but this kind of move-code should be done in another patch.

Doesn't this "sections" need to be sorted ? Hmm.

Okay, please go ahead. But my 1st impression is that IBM should increase ppc's
SECTION_SIZE ;)

You are correct.  A memory block is removable only if all of the memory
sections contained within the memory block are removable.

I will include a documentation patch with v3 of the patches to explain this
and to explain that memory add/remove operations are done on a per memory
block basis.

sorry about that.  I'm just using the default options with quilt.  I'll

This should handle both conditions.  If we fail to move all of the memory
sections to the 'to_state', it puts all of the memory sections back to the
'from_state_req'.

Yes, during boot all memory sections are marked online.

Not sure either, it appears that it is there to ensure that the memory
section we are trying to act on is actually present.

Now that the "state_mutex" is getting used for other stuff, should we
just make it "mutex"?

Please just use a goto here.  It's nicer looking, and much more in line
with what's there already.

It looks like we have state in both the memory_block and
memory_block_section.  That seems a bit confusing to me.  This also
looks like it would permit non-contiguous memory_block_sections in a
memory_block.  Is that what you intended?

If the memory_block's state was inferred to be the same as each
memory_block_section, couldn't we just keep a start and end phys_index
in the memory_block, and get away from having memory_block_sections at
all?

Not sure if I follow on where you want the goto.  If you mean after the
if (memory_block_action())...  I purposely did not have a goto here.
Since this is in the recovery path I wanted to make sure we tried to return
every memory section to the original state.

The two state fields are a bit confusing, perhaps slightly different
names, block_state and section_state.  The reason for two state fileds
is that memory online/offline is done on a memory block and an entire
memory block is considered online or offline.  The state field in the
memory_block_section is used to track the state of each of the memory
sections as you work through onlining or offlining the entire block
so that if an error occurs we can return each memory section to its 
original state.

You're correct that there is nothing that prevents non-contiguous memory
sections in a memory block.  It was not my intention to have this, but
looking at the patches there is nothing to prevent it.

Oooohhh... I like.  Looking at the code it appears this is possible.  I'll
try this out and include it in the next version of the patch.

Do you think we need to add an additional file to each memory block directory
to indicate the number of memory sections in the memory block that are actually
present?

I think it's easiest to just say that each 'memory_block' can only hold
contiguous 'memory_block_sections', and we give either the start/end or
start/length pairs.  It gets a lot more complicated if we have to deal
with lots of holes.

I can just see the hardware designers reading this thread, with their
Dr. Evil laughs trying to come up with a reason to give us a couple of
terabytes of RAM with only every-other 16MB area populated. :)

Looking at it a little closer, I see what you're doing now.

First of all, should memory_block_action() get a new name since it isn
not taking 'memory_block_section's?

The thing I would have liked to see is to have that error handling block
out of the way a bit.  But, the function is small, and there's not _too_
much code in there, so what you have is probably the best way to do it.

Minor nit: Please pull the memory_block_action() out of the if() and do
the:

> >> +            ret = memory_block_action(mbs, to_state);
> >> +            if (ret)
> >> +                    break;

thing like above.  It makes it much more obvious that the loop is
related to the top one.  I was thinking if it made sense to have a
helper function to go through and do that list walk, so you could do:

	ret = set_all_states(mem->sections, to_state);
	if (ret)
		set_all_states(mem->sections, old_state);

But I think you'd need to pass in a bit more information, so it probably
isn't worth doing that, either.

Does memory_block have to be contiguous between [phys_index, end_phys_index] ?
Should we provide "# of sections" or "amount of memory under a block" ?

No objections to end_phys_index...buf plz fix diff style.

Thanks,

Good point.  There is nothing that guarantees that a memory block contains
the contiguous memory sections [phys_index, end_phys_index].  Should there be
a 'memory_sections' file that list the memory sections present in a memory block?
Something along the lines of;

#> cat memory0/memory_sections
0,1,2,3

This could be done instead of the end_phys_index file.

[PATCH 3/5] v2 Change the mutex name in the memory_block struct

[Nathan Fontenot]

Change the name of the memory_block mutex since it is now used for
more than just gating changes to the status of the memory sections
covered by the memory sysfs directory.

[PATCH 4/5] v2 Update sysfs node routines for new sysfs memory directories

[Nathan Fontenot]

Update the node sysfs directory routines that create
links to the memory sysfs directories under each node.
This update makes the node code aware that a memory sysfs
directory can cover multiple memory sections.

Shouldn't "static int link_mem_sections(int nid)" be update ?
It does
 for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
        register..

No, although the name 'link_mem_sections' does imply that it should.  The
range of start_pfn..end_pfn examined in this routine is the range of pfn's
covered by the entire node, not a memory_block.
