[PATCH v3] mm/hugetlb: split hugetlb_cma in nodes with memory

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

 



Online nodes are not necessarily memory containing nodes. Splitting
huge_cma in online nodes can lead to inconsistent hugetlb_cma size
with user setting. For example, for one system with 4 numa nodes and
only one of them has memory, if users set hugetlb_cma to 4GB, it will
split into four 1GB. So only the node with memory will get 1GB CMA.
All other three nodes get nothing. That means the whole system gets
only 1GB CMA while users ask for 4GB.

Thus, it is more sensible to split hugetlb_cma in nodes with memory.
For the above case, the only node with memory will reserve 4GB cma
which is same with user setting in bootargs. In order to split cma
in nodes with memory, hugetlb_cma_reserve() should scan over those
nodes with N_MEMORY state rather than N_ONLINE state. That means
the function should be called only after arch code has finished
setting the N_MEMORY state of nodes.

The problem is always there if N_ONLINE != N_MEMORY. It is a general
problem to all platforms. But there is some trivial difference among
different architectures.
For example, for ARM64, before hugetlb_cma_reserve() is called, all
nodes have got N_ONLINE state. So hugetlb will get inconsistent cma
size when some online nodes have no memory. For x86 case, the problem
is hidden because X86 happens to just set N_ONLINE on the nodes with
memory when hugetlb_cma_reserve() is called.

Anyway, this patch moves to scan N_MEMORY in hugetlb_cma_reserve()
and lets both x86 and ARM64 call the function after N_MEMORY state
is ready. It also documents the requirement in the definition of
hugetlb_cma_reserve().
