[RFC PATCH 0/3 V1] mm: add new migrate type and online_movable for hotplug

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

 



The 1st patch fixes the allocation of CMA and prepares for movable-like types.

The 2nd patch add a new migrate type which stands for the movable types which
pages will not be changed to the other type.

I chose the name MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE from MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE
and MIGRATE_MOVABLE_STABLE, it just because the first usecase of this new type
is for hotremove.

The 3th path introduces online_movable. When a memoryblock is onlined
by "online_movable", the kernel will not have directly reference to the page
of the memoryblock, thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

Different from ZONE_MOVABLE: it can be used for any given memroyblock.

Lai Jiangshan (3):
  use __rmqueue_smallest when borrow memory from MIGRATE_CMA
  add MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE type
  add online_movable
