[PATCH for 4.19-stable v2 00/24] mm/memory_hotplug: backport of pending stable fixes

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

 



This is the backport of the following fixes for 4.19-stable:

- d84f2f5a7552 ("drivers/base/node.c: simplify
  unregister_memory_block_under_nodes()")
-- Turned out to not only be a cleanup but also a fix
- 2c91f8fc6c99 ("mm/memory_hotplug: fix try_offline_node()")
-- Automatic stable backport failed due to missing dependencies.
- feee6b298916 ("mm/memory_hotplug: shrink zones when offlining memory")
-- Was marked as stable 5.0+ due to the backport complexity,, but it's also
   relevant for 4.19/4.14. As I have to backport quite some cleanups
   already ...

All tackle memory unplug issues, especially when memory was never
onlined (or onlining failed), paired with memory unplug. When trying to
access garbage memmaps we crash the kernel (e.g., because the derviced
pgdat pointer is broken)

To minimize manual code changes, I decided to pull in quite some cleanups.
Still some manual code changes are necessary (indicated in the individual
patches). Especially missing arm64 hot(un)plug, missing sub-section hotadd
support, and missing unification of mm/hmm.c and kernel/memremap.c requires
care.

Due to:
- 4e0d2e7ef14d ("mm, sparse: pass nid instead of pgdat to
  sparse_add_one_section()")
I need:
- afe9b36ca890 ("mm/memunmap: don't access uninitialized memmap in
  memunmap_pages()")

Please note that:
- 4c4b7f9ba948 ("mm/memory_hotplug: remove memory block devices
  before arch_remove_memory()")
Makes big (e.g., 32TB) machines boot up slower (e.g., 2h vs 10m). There is
a performance fix in linux-next, but it does not seem to classify as a
fix for current RC / stable.

I did quite some testing with hot(un)plug, onlining/offlining of memory
blocks and memory-less/CPU-less NUMA nodes under x86_64 - the same set of
tests I run against upstream on a fairly regular basis. I compile-tested
on PowerPC, arm64, s390x, i386 and sh. I did not test any ZONE_DEVICE/HMM
thingies.

v1 -> v2:
- Fix patch authors
- Dropped "mm/memory_hotplug: make __remove_pages() and
  arch_remove_memory() never fail"
-- Only creates a minor conflict in another patch
- "mm/memory_hotplug: make remove_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock"
-- Fix wrong upstream commit id
- "mm/memory_hotplug: shrink zones when offlining memory"
- "mm/memunmap: don't access uninitialized memmap in memunmap_pages()"
-- Fix usage of wrong pfn

CCing only some people to minimize noise.
