      mm/memblock.c: rename local variable of memblock_type to 'type' · 567d117b
      Alexander Kuleshov authored 
      Since commit e3239ff9

 ("memblock: Rename memblock_region to
memblock_type and memblock_property to memblock_region"), all local
variables of the membock_type type were renamed to 'type'.  This commit
renames all remaining local variables with the memblock_type type to the
same view.

      mem-hotplug: handle node hole when initializing numa_meminfo. · 95cf82ec
      Tang Chen authored 
      
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

      mm/memblock.c: make memblock_overlaps_region() return bool. · c5c5c9d1
      Tang Chen authored 
      
memblock_overlaps_region() checks if the given memblock region
intersects a region in memblock.  If so, it returns the index of the
intersected region.

But its only caller is memblock_is_region_reserved(), and it returns 0
if false, non-zero if true.

Both of these should return bool.

      mm/memblock.c: WARN_ON when flags differs from overlap region · 4fcab5f4
      Wei Yang authored 
      
Each memblock_region has flags to indicates the type of this range. For
the overlap case, memblock_add_range() inserts the lower part and leave the
upper part as indicated in the overlapped region.

If the flags of the new range differs from the overlapped region, the
information recorded is not correct.

This patch adds a WARN_ON when the flags of the new range differs from the
overlapped region.

      mm: page_alloc: pass PFN to __free_pages_bootmem · d70ddd7a
      Mel Gorman authored 
      
__free_pages_bootmem prepares a page for release to the buddy allocator
and assumes that the struct page is initialised.  Parallel initialisation
of struct pages defers initialisation and __free_pages_bootmem can be
called for struct pages that cannot yet map struct page to PFN.  This
patch passes PFN to __free_pages_bootmem with no other functional change.

      memblock: introduce a for_each_reserved_mem_region iterator · 8e7a7f86
      Robin Holt authored 
      Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used.  This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.

After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine

[    7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[    7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[    7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[    7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms

On a 1TB machine, I see

[    8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[    8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[    8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[    8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms

Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again.  In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.

Nate Zimmer said:

: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.

Waiman Long said:

: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system.  From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).

Daniel Blueman said:

: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s.  This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset.  Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350

)
: drops this to 1045s.

This patch (of 13):

As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.

This helper function will be used for that expansion.

      mm/memblock: allocate boot time data structures from mirrored memory · a3f5bafc
      Tony Luck authored 
      
Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.

If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.

By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures.  64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ...  or about 1.5% of total
system memory.  For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

      mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute · fc6daaf9
      Tony Luck authored 
      Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check.  Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).

But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution.  Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.

Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.

Gen1: All memory is mirrored
	Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
	     mirror
	Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications

Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
	Pro: Keep more of the capacity

      mm/memblock.c: refactor functions to set/clear MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG · 4308ce17
      Tony Luck authored 
      
There is a lot of duplication in the rubric around actually setting or
clearing a mem region flag.  Create a new helper function to do this and
reduce each of memblock_mark_hotplug() and memblock_clear_hotplug() to a
single line.

This will be useful if someone were to add a new mem region flag - which
I hope to be doing some day soon. But it looks like a plausible cleanup
even without that - so I'd like to get it out of the way now.

Let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range(),
it is used to to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory
for the kernel at early time. The code is the same as __next_mem_range_rev().

Clear hotpluggable flag before releasing free pages to the buddy
allocator.  If we don't clear hotpluggable flag in
free_low_memory_core_early(), the memory which marked hotpluggable flag
will not free to buddy allocator.  Because __next_mem_range() will skip
them.

Add the physmem list to the memblock structure. This list only exists
if HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PHYS_MAP is selected and contains the unmodified
list of physically available memory. It differs from the memblock
memory list as it always contains all memory ranges even if the
memory has been restricted, e.g. by use of the mem= kernel parameter.

      mm/memblock: Do some refactoring, enhance API · f1af9d3a
      Philipp Hachtmann authored 
      
Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it
more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and
work with additional memory lists.

The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are
renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to
the memblock API.

The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions
are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers
__next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.

To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range
and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used
to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.
