Subject: mem-hotplug: handle node hole when initializing numa_meminfo.
When parsing SRAT, all memory ranges are added into numa_meminfo. In
numa_init(), before entering numa_cleanup_meminfo(), all possible memory
ranges are in numa_meminfo. And numa_cleanup_meminfo() removes all ranges
over max_pfn or empty.
But, this only works if the nodes are continuous. Let's have a look at
the following example:
We have an SRAT like this:
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x5fffffff]
SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x1ffffffffff]
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x20000000000-0x3ffffffffff]
SRAT: Node 4 PXM 2 [mem 0x40000000000-0x5ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 5 PXM 3 [mem 0x60000000000-0x7ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 2 PXM 4 [mem 0x80000000000-0x9ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 3 PXM 5 [mem 0xa0000000000-0xbffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 6 PXM 6 [mem 0xc0000000000-0xdffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 7 PXM 7 [mem 0xe0000000000-0xfffffffffff] hotplug
On boot, only node 0,1,2,3 exist.
And the numa_meminfo will look like this:
numa_meminfo.nr_blks = 9
1. on node 0: [0, 60000000]
2. on node 0: [100000000, 20000000000]
3. on node 1: [20000000000, 40000000000]
4. on node 4: [40000000000, 60000000000]
5. on node 5: [60000000000, 80000000000]
6. on node 2: [80000000000, a0000000000]
7. on node 3: [a0000000000, a0800000000]
8. on node 6: [c0000000000, a0800000000]
9. on node 7: [e0000000000, a0800000000]
And numa_cleanup_meminfo() will merge 1 and 2, and remove 8,9 because the
end address is over max_pfn, which is a0800000000. But 4 and 5 are not
removed because their end addresses are less then max_pfn. But in fact,
node 4 and 5 don't exist.
In a word, numa_cleanup_meminfo() is not able to handle holes between nodes.
Since memory ranges in node 4 and 5 are in numa_meminfo, in
numa_register_memblks(), node 4 and 5 will be mistakenly set to online.
If you run lscpu, it will show:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142
NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157
NUMA node2 CPU(s):
NUMA node3 CPU(s):
NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204
NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220
In this patch, we use memblock_overlaps_region() to check if ranges in
numa_meminfo overlap with ranges in memory_block. Since memory_block
contains all available memory at boot time, if they overlap, it means the
ranges exist. If not, then remove them from numa_meminfo.
After this patch, lscpu will show:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142
NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157
NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204
NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220
