[PATCH 1/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: acpi motherboard fix

[PATCH 1/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: acpi motherboard fix

[Keith Mannthey]

Is the first of 10 patches.  They were built ontop of Kames 6 patches sent out
within the last few days ([RFC][PATCH] fix ioresouce handling take2 [1/5] was 
the first).  Kames patches fix several real isses and with the 6th patch they
are complete from my point of view. 

I have worked to integrate the feedback I recived on the last round of patches
and welcome more ideas/advice. Thanks to everyone who has provied input on
these patches already. 

This patch set allow SPARSEMEM and RESERVE based hot-add to work.  I have
test both options and they work as expected.  I am adding memory to the 
2nd node of a numa system (x86_64).    

Major changes from last set is the config change and RESERVE enablment. 


From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

Make ACPI motherboard driver not attach to devices/handles it dosen't expect. 
Fix a bug where the motherboard driver attached to hot-add memory event and 
caused the add memory call to fail.

[PATCH 3/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: Kconfig changes

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

Create Kconfig namespace for MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE and MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE. 
This is needed to create a disticiton between the 2 paths. Selecting the high 
level opiton of MEMORY_HOTPLUG will get you MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE if you have 
sparsemem enabled or MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE if you are x86_64 with discontig 
and ACPI numa support.

[PATCH 4/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: Enable SPARSEMEM in srat.c

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

 Enable x86_64 srat.c to share code between both reserve and sparsemem based add memory
paths.  Both paths need the hot-add area node locality infomration (nodes_add).  This 
code refactors the code path to allow this.

Ok nice, but.... hotadd_enough_memory() is broken, it does weird things 
with nd->start and nd->end which haven't been assigned even values yet. 
Also, mysterious business with find_e820_area and last_area_end...These 
areas are not in e820...

And why the reserve_bootmem_node()? Areas not RAM (per e820) are 
reserved anyways.

  Thats for pointing out the breakage in hotadd_enough_memory.  I think
the find_e820_area stuff is to make sure there box has the memory to
reserve the maps....but it doesn't look to do it right.  I can take a
pass at a re-write for this function. 
   

STAT hot-add memroy areas can be outside the e820.  The e820 just
exposes the end of memory the is present in the box even though there
maybe add area on the other size of that.

For example my memory is layed out as follows.

SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 0-80000000
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 0-470000000
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 0-1070000000
SRAT: hot plug zone found 470000000 - 1070000000
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 1070000000-1160000000
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 1070000000-3200000000
SRAT: hot plug zone found 1160000000 - 3200000000

The e820 ends at 1160000000 but there is still a possible add zone on
the other side of that. 

The first hot plug zone is reserved by the e820 but no the 2nd. 
> And why the reserve_bootmem_node()? Areas not RAM (per e820) are 
> reserved anyways.

To make sure the areas are outside of the e820 are reserved.  

Thanks,

I won't respond to all of these, but the set looks pretty darn sane.

I don't have a really strong feeling either way, but you can use
include/linux/pfn.h and PFN_DOWN() here, instead of the explicit >>'s.

This name is a wee bit too generic to be in the global namespace.
Perhaps there should be a "memory" in there somewhere.

[PATCH 5/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: memory_add_physaddr_to_nid enable

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

  The api for hot-add memory already has a construct for finding nodes based on
an address, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid.  This patch allows the fucntion to do 
something besides return 0.  It uses the nodes_add infomation to lookup to node 
info for a hot add event.

[PATCH 7/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: x86_64 kernel mapping fix

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

  Fix for the x86_64 kernel mapping code.  Without this patch the update path
only inits one pmd_page worth of memory and tramples any entries on it. 
now the calling convention to phys_pmd_init and phys_init is to always
pass a [pmd/pud] page not an offset within a page.

[PATCH 9/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: use CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

  The api for hot-add memory already has a construct for finding nodes based on
an address, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid.  This patch allows the fucntion to do 
something besides return 0.  It uses the nodes_add infomation to lookup to node 
info for a hot add event.

[PATCH 10/10] hot-add-mem x86_64: valid add range check

[Keith Mannthey]

From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com>

  Introduce and implement valid_add_memory_range to MEMORY_HOTPLUG.  The
RESERVE path needs to be careful about check to make sure it only onlines
correct memory.  The SPASRMEM path is using resource code to do this so
it gets a no-op check. This frame work makes it was to add specific checks
for valid add memory ranges as the need arises.

Just from review...

If new zone , which was empty at boot, are added into the system.
build_all_zonelists() has to be called. (see online_pages() in memory_hotplug.c)
it looks x86_64's __add_pages() doesn't calles it.

Precisely, look online_pages() (CCONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE) 
==
       setup_per_zone_pages_min();

        if (need_zonelists_rebuild)
                build_all_zonelists();
        vm_total_pages = nr_free_pagecache_pages();
==
These 3 calls are necessary, I think.

With RESERVE there are not empty zones.  All zones (including add-areas)
are setup during boot and hot add areas reserved in the bootmem
allocator. 

Zones don't change size there is no adding to the zone just on-lining on
pages at are already present in the zone.

It looks contents of zone is increased at (*). Do I see old code ?

static inline int populated_zone(struct zone *zone)

"empty zone" I said means a zone which is not populated.

this populated_zone() is used at build_zone_list().
if populated_zone(z)==0, zone "z" is not included into zonelist and zone will be never
used.

It is an accounting issue.  What I meant by re-sizing is there is no
change to node_mem_map (with reserve CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is set).
When the original size for the zone is setup it views that add areas as
a "hole" in the e820 space. 

See arch/x86_64/mm/init.c size_zones.

I know of no x86_64 hardware the supports empty node hot-add memory.  If
it exists I would recommend using SPARSEMEM based hot-add.  On HW I am
aware of there is always some memory present in a node at boot.

O.K one more.

I know x86_64 has ZONE_DMA32. A system boot with only memory below 4G 
has no avilable memory in ZONE_NORMAL. If a new memory above 4G is added,
ZONE_NORMAL comes as *new* zone.
ZONE_NORMAL is empty at boot, so it's not in zonelist at boot.

is this not problem ?

Perhaps in this situation you could run into trouble.  I am not sure if
I can put my hardware into this config but I will try.  

Thanks for taking a look at these patches and the reserve path. 

Thanks,
