[PATCH v1] memory tier: consolidate the initialization of memory tiers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we simply move the set_node_memory_tier() from memory_tier_init() to
late_initcall(), it will result in HMAT not registering the
mt_adistance_algorithm callback function, because set_node_memory_tier()
is not performed during the memory tiering initialization phase,
leading to a lack of correct default_dram information.

Therefore, we introduced a nodemask to pass the information of the
default DRAM nodes. The reason for not choosing to reuse
default_dram_type->nodes is that it is not clean enough. So in the end,
we use a __initdata variable, which is a variable that is released once
initialization is complete, including both CPU and memory nodes for HMAT
to iterate through.

Besides, since default_dram_type may be checked/used during the
initialization process of HMAT and drivers, it is better to keep the
allocation of default_dram_type in memory_tier_init().

Hi all,

The current memory tier initialization process is distributed across two
different functions, memory_tier_init() and memory_tier_late_init(). This
design is hard to maintain. Thus, this patch is proposed to reduce the
possible code paths by consolidating different initialization patches into one.

The earlier discussion with Jonathan and Ying is listed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240405150244.00004b49@xxxxxxxxxx/

If we want to put these two initializations together, they must be placed
together in the later function. Because only at that time, the HMAT information
will be ready, adist between nodes can be calculated, and memory tiering can be
established based on the adist. So we position the initialization at
memory_tier_init() to the memory_tier_late_init() call.

Moreover, it's natural to keep memory_tier initialization in drivers at
device_initcall() level.

This patchset is based on commits cf93be18fa1b and a72a30af550c:
