[PATCH v2 3/9] drivers/base/memory: introduce "memory groups" to logically group memory blocks

David Hildenbrand
2021-07-23T12:52:58Z

In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions
across memory blocks of a single memory device. Examples of memory devices
include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM) and
virtio-mem. For now, we don't have a connection between a single memory
block device and the real memory device. Each memory device consists of
1..X memory block devices.

Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device
in "memory groups". Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a
memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical
ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory
onlining.

Introduce two memory group types:

1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting of
1..X memory resources. A memory group consists of 1..Y memory blocks.
The whole group is added/removed in one go. If any part cannot get
offlined, the whole group cannot be removed.

2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device. Memory is
dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit",
consisting of 1..X memory blocks. A unit is added/removed in one go.
If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be
removed.

In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE
or none. In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible
managed by ZONE_MOVABLE. We want a single unit to be of the same type.

For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to
user space; we might want to change that in the future, though.

add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing
the MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.
