Subject: page migration: Support moving of individual pages
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Add support for sys_move_pages()
move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.
int move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
addresses_of_pages[],
nodes[] or NULL,
status[],
flags);
The addresses of pages is an array of unsigned longs pointing to the
pages to be moved.
The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed then no pages are moved but the status array is
updated.
The status array contains a status indicating the result of the migration
operation or the current state of the page if nodes == NULL.
Possible page states:
0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node.
-ENOENT Page is not present or target node is not present
-EPERM Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified. Or the
target node is not allowed by the current cpuset.
Or the page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
cannot be moved.
-EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.
-EFAULT Cannot read node information from node array.
-ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node.
-EIO Unable to write back page. Page must be written
back since the page is dirty and the filesystem does not
provide a migration function.
-EINVAL Filesystem does not provide a migration function but also
has no ability to write back pages.
The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:
MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process.
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
Requires sufficient capabilities.
Possible return codes from move_pages()
-EINVAL flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
to migrate pages in a kernel thread.
-EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.
-ESRCH Process does not exist.
-ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array.
-EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed.
