Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] mm/page_owner: add NUMA node filter with nodelist support
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 00:32:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430163247.13628-3-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430163247.13628-1-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 nodelist input formats:
- Single node: echo "0" > nid
- Multiple nodes: echo "0,2,3" > nid
- Node range: echo "0-3" > nid
- Mixed format: echo "0,2-4,7" > nid
- Clear filter: echo > nid (empty string)
The implementation uses nodemask_t for efficient multi-node filtering
and nodelist_parse() for flexible input parsing. Empty input clears
the filter.
Note: Access to nid_mask uses plain load/store without locking because
nodemask_t is too large (128 bytes) for READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. This is
safe for debug use: low-frequency changes and torn reads would only
cause temporary inconsistency in debug output.

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)
