From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Reclaim-based migration is attempting to optimize data placement in
memory based on the system topology. If the system changes, so must
the migration ordering.
The implementation is conceptually simple and entirely unoptimized.
On any memory or CPU hotplug events, assume that a node was added or
removed and recalculate all migration targets. This ensures that the
node_demotion[] array is always ready to be used in case the new
reclaim mode is enabled.
This recalculation is far from optimal, most glaringly that it does
not even attempt to figure out the hotplug event would have some
*actual* effect on the demotion order. But, given the expected
paucity of hotplug events, this should be fine.
=== What does RCU provide? ===
Imaginge a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking
for the last node:
terminal_node = start_node;
while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) {
terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node];
}
The initial values are:
node_demotion[0] = 1;
node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
and are updated to:
node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
node_demotion[1] = 0;
What guarantees that the loop did not observe:
node_demotion[0] = 1;
node_demotion[1] = 0;
and would loop forever?
With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the
loop. Since the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop
that observed the old contents is known to be complete after the
synchronize_rcu() has completed.
RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that
the old migration state is not visible by the time
__set_migration_target_nodes() is called.
=== What does READ_ONCE() provide? ===
READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering
successive reads of node_demotion[]. This ensures that any
updates are *eventually* observed.
Consider the above loop again. The compiler could theoretically
read the entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage
(registers) and never go back to memory, and *permanently*
observe bad values for node_demotion[].
Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering
guarantees:
