From: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch series aims to support physical memory hot-remove. The patches can free/remove following things: - acpi_memory_info : [RFC PATCH 4/19] - /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} : [RFC PATCH 8/19] - iomem_resource : [RFC PATCH 9/19] - mem_section and related sysfs files : [RFC PATCH 10-11, 13-16/19] - page table of removed memory : [RFC PATCH 12/19] - node and related sysfs files : [RFC PATCH 18-19/19] If you find lack of function for physical memory hot-remove, please let me know. change log of v6: [RFC PATCH v5 12/19] * fix building error on other archtitectures than x86 [RFC PATCH v5 15-16/19] * fix building error on other archtitectures than x86 change log of v5: * merge the patchset to clear page table and the patchset to hot remove memory(from ishimatsu) to one big patchset. [RFC PATCH v5 1/19] * rename remove_memory() to offline_memory()/offline_pages() [RFC PATCH v5 2/19] * new patch: implement offline_memory(). This function offlines pages, update memory block's state, and notify the userspace that the memory block's state is changed. [RFC PATCH v5 4/19] * offline and remove memory in acpi_memory_disable_device() too. [RFC PATCH v5 17/19] * new patch: add a new function __remove_zone() to revert the things done in the function __add_zone(). [RFC PATCH v5 18/19] * flush work befor reseting node device. change log of v4: * remove "memory-hotplug : unify argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug" from the patch series, since the patch is a bugfix. It is being disccussed on other thread. But for testing the patch series, the patch is needed. So I added the patch as [PATCH 0/13]. [RFC PATCH v4 2/13] * check memory is online or not at remove_memory() * add memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() to acpi_memory_device_remove() for getting node id [RFC PATCH v4 3/13] * create new patch : check memory is online or not at online_pages() [RFC PATCH v4 4/13] * add __ref section to remove_memory() * call firmware_map_remove_entry() before remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry() [RFC PATCH v4 11/13] * rewrite register_page_bootmem_memmap() for removing page used as PT/PMD change log of v3: * rebase to 3.5.0-rc6 [RFC PATCH v2 2/13] * remove extra kobject_put() * The patch was commented by Wen. Wen's comment is "acpi_memory_device_remove() should ignore a return value of remove_memory() since caller does not care the return value". But I did not change it since I think caller should care the return value. And I am trying to fix it as follow: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/624 [RFC PATCH v2 4/13] * remove a firmware_memmap_entry allocated by kzmalloc() change log of v2: [RFC PATCH v2 2/13] * check whether memory block is offline or not before calling offline_memory() * check whether section is valid or not in is_memblk_offline() * call kobject_put() for each memory_block in is_memblk_offline() [RFC PATCH v2 3/13] * unify the end argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug [RFC PATCH v2 4/13] * add release_firmware_map_entry() for freeing firmware_map_entry [RFC PATCH v2 6/13] * add release_memory_block() for freeing memory_block [RFC PATCH v2 11/13] * fix wrong arguments of free_pages() Wen Congyang (6): memory-hotplug: implement offline_memory() memory-hotplug: store the node id in acpi_memory_device memory-hotplug: export the function acpi_bus_remove() memory-hotplug: call acpi_bus_remove() to remove memory device memory-hotplug: introduce new function arch_remove_memory() memory-hotplug: free memmap of sparse-vmemmap Yasuaki Ishimatsu (13): memory-hotplug: rename remove_memory() to offline_memory()/offline_pages() memory-hotplug: offline and remove memory when removing the memory device memory-hotplug: check whether memory is present or not memory-hotplug: remove /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs memory-hotplug: does not release memory region in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks memory-hotplug: add memory_block_release memory-hotplug: remove_memory calls __remove_pages memory-hotplug: check page type in get_page_bootmem memory-hotplug: move register_page_bootmem_info_node and put_page_bootmem for sparse-vmemmap memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap memory_hotplug: clear zone when the memory is removed memory-hotplug: add node_device_release memory-hotplug: remove sysfs file of node arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c | 14 + arch/ia64/mm/init.c | 16 + arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c | 14 + arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c | 14 + arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c | 16 +- arch/s390/mm/init.c | 12 + arch/s390/mm/vmem.c | 14 + arch/sh/mm/init.c | 15 + arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c | 14 + arch/tile/mm/init.c | 8 + arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h | 1 + arch/x86/mm/init_32.c | 10 + arch/x86/mm/init_64.c | 331 ++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c | 47 ++-- drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c | 51 +++- drivers/acpi/scan.c | 3 +- drivers/base/memory.c | 90 ++++++- drivers/base/node.c | 8 + drivers/firmware/memmap.c | 78 +++++- include/acpi/acpi_bus.h | 1 + include/linux/firmware-map.h | 6 + include/linux/memory.h | 5 + include/linux/memory_hotplug.h | 25 +- include/linux/mm.h | 5 +- include/linux/mmzone.h | 19 ++ mm/memory_hotplug.c | 337 +++++++++++++++++++++-- mm/sparse.c | 5 +- 27 files changed, 1068 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
