[PATCH v3 00/11] mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block devicehandling

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

 



We only want memory block devices for memory to be onlined/offlined
(add/remove from the buddy). This is required so user space can
online/offline memory and kdump gets notified about newly onlined memory.

Let's factor out creation/removal of memory block devices. This helps
to further cleanup arch_add_memory/arch_remove_memory() and to make
implementation of new features easier - especially sub-section
memory hot add from Dan.

Anshuman Khandual is currently working on arch_remove_memory(). I added
a temporary solution via "arm64/mm: Add temporary arch_remove_memory()
implementation", that is sufficient as a firsts tep in the context of
this series. (we don't cleanup page tables in case anything goes
wrong already)

Did a quick sanity test with DIMM plug/unplug, making sure all devices
and sysfs links properly get added/removed. Compile tested on s390x and
x86-64.

Based on next/master.

Next refactoring on my list will be making sure that remove_memory()
will never deal with zones / access "struct pages". Any kind of zone
handling will have to be done when offlining system memory / before
removing device memory. I am thinking about remove_pfn_range_from_zone()",
du undo everything "move_pfn_range_to_zone()" did.

v2 -> v3:
- Add "s390x/mm: Fail when an altmap is used for arch_add_memory()"
- Add "arm64/mm: Add temporary arch_remove_memory() implementation"
- Add "drivers/base/memory: Pass a block_id to init_memory_block()"
- Various changes to "mm/memory_hotplug: Create memory block devices
  after arch_add_memory()" and "mm/memory_hotplug: Create memory block
  devices after arch_add_memory()" due to switching from sections to
  block_id's.

v1 -> v2:
- s390x/mm: Implement arch_remove_memory()
-- remove mapping after "__remove_pages"
