mm/memory_hotplug: improved dynamic memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy
Currently, the "auto-movable" online policy does not allow for hotplugged KERNEL (ZONE_NORMAL) memory to increase
mm/memory_hotplug: improved dynamic memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy
Currently, the "auto-movable" online policy does not allow for hotplugged KERNEL (ZONE_NORMAL) memory to increase the amount of MOVABLE memory we can have, primarily, because there is no coordiantion across memory devices and we don't want to create zone-imbalances accidentially when unplugging memory.
However, within a single memory device it's different. Let's allow for KERNEL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more MOVABLE within the same memory group. The only thing we have to take care of is that the managing driver avoids zone imbalances by unplugging MOVABLE memory first, otherwise there can be corner cases where unplug of memory could result in (accidential) zone imbalances.
virtio-mem is the only user of dynamic memory groups and recently added support for prioritizing unplug of ZONE_MOVABLE over ZONE_NORMAL, so we don't need a new toggle to enable it for dynamic memory groups.
We limit this handling to dynamic memory groups, because:
* We want to keep the runtime overhead for collecting stats when onlining a single memory block small. We tend to have only a handful of dynamic memory groups, but we can have quite some static memory groups (e.g., 256 DIMMs).
* It doesn't make too much sense for static memory groups, as we try onlining all applicable memory blocks either completely to ZONE_MOVABLE or not. In ordinary operation, we won't have a mixture of zones within a static memory group.
When adding memory to a dynamic memory group, we'll first online memory to ZONE_MOVABLE as long as early KERNEL memory allows for it. Then, we'll online the next unit(s) to ZONE_NORMAL, until we can online the next unit(s) to ZONE_MOVABLE.
For a simple virtio-mem device with a MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio of 3:1, it will result in a layout like:
[M][M][M][M][M][M][M][M][N][M][M][M][N][M][M][M]... ^ movable memory due to early kernel memory ^ allows for more movable memory ... ^-----^ ... here ^ allows for more movable memory ... ^-----^ ... here
While the created layout is sub-optimal when it comes to contiguous zones, it gives us the maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a device; we can grow small VMs really big in small steps, and still shrink reliably to e.g., 1/4 of the maximum VM size in this example, removing full memory blocks along with meta data more reliably.
Mark dynamic memory groups in the xarray such that we can efficiently iterate over them when collecting stats. In usual setups, we have one virtio-mem device per NUMA node, and usually only a small number of NUMA nodes.
Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this behavior configurable.

mm/memory_hotplug: memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy
Use memory groups to improve our "auto-movable" onlining policy:
1. For static memory groups (e.g., a DIMM), online a memory block MOVABLE only if all other memory blocks in the group are either MOVABLE or could be onlined MOVABLE. A DIMM will either be MOVABLE or not, not a mixture.
2. For dynamic memory groups (e.g., a virtio-mem device), online a memory block MOVABLE only if all other memory blocks inside the current unit are either MOVABLE or could be onlined MOVABLE. For a virtio-mem device with a device block size with 512 MiB, all 128 MiB memory blocks wihin a 512 MiB unit will either be MOVABLE or not, not a mixture.
We have to pass the memory group to zone_for_pfn_range() to take the memory group into account.
Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this behavior configurable.

Let's track all present pages in each memory group. Especially, track memory present in ZONE_MOVABLE and memory present in one of the kernel zones (which really only is ZONE_NORMAL right now as memory groups only apply to hotplugged memory) separately within a memory group, to prepare for making smart auto-online decision for individual memory blocks within a memory group based on group statistics.

drivers/base/memory: introduce "memory groups" to logically group memory blocks
In our "auto-movable" memory onlining policy, we want to make decisions across memory blocks of a single memory device. Examples of memory devices include ACPI memory devices (in the simplest case a single DIMM) and virtio-mem. For now, we don't have a connection between a single memory block device and the real memory device. Each memory device consists of 1..X memory block devices.
Let's logically group memory blocks belonging to the same memory device in "memory groups". Memory groups can span multiple physical ranges and a memory group itself does not contain any information regarding physical ranges, only properties (e.g., "max_pages") necessary for improved memory onlining.
Introduce two memory group types:
1) Static memory group: E.g., a single ACPI memory device, consisting of 1..X memory resources. A memory group consists of 1..Y memory blocks. The whole group is added/removed in one go. If any part cannot get offlined, the whole group cannot be removed.
2) Dynamic memory group: E.g., a single virtio-mem device. Memory is dynamically added/removed in a fixed granularity, called a "unit", consisting of 1..X memory blocks. A unit is added/removed in one go. If any part of a unit cannot get offlined, the whole unit cannot be removed.
In case of 1) we usually want either all memory managed by ZONE_MOVABLE or none. In case of 2) we usually want to have as many units as possible managed by ZONE_MOVABLE. We want a single unit to be of the same type.
For now, memory groups are an internal concept that is not exposed to user space; we might want to change that in the future, though.
add_memory() users can specify a mgid instead of a nid when passing the MHP_NID_IS_MGID flag.

The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online supp
mm: track present early pages per zone
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: "auto-movable" online policy and memory groups", v3.
I. Goal
The goal of this series is improving in-kernel auto-online support. It tackles the fundamental problems that:
1) We can create zone imbalances when onlining all memory blindly to ZONE_MOVABLE, in the worst case crashing the system. We have to know upfront how much memory we are going to hotplug such that we can safely enable auto-onlining of all hotplugged memory to ZONE_MOVABLE via "online_movable". This is far from practical and only applicable in limited setups -- like inside VMs under the RHV/oVirt hypervisor which will never hotplug more than 3 times the boot memory (and the limitation is only in place due to the Linux limitation).
2) We see more setups that implement dynamic VM resizing, hot(un)plugging memory to resize VM memory. In these setups, we might hotplug a lot of memory, but it might happen in various small steps in both directions (e.g., 2 GiB -> 8 GiB -> 4 GiB -> 16 GiB ...). virtio-mem is the primary driver of this upstream right now, performing such dynamic resizing NUMA-aware via multiple virtio-mem devices.
Onlining all hotplugged memory to ZONE_NORMAL means we basically have no hotunplug guarantees. Onlining all to ZONE_MOVABLE means we can easily run into zone imbalances when growing a VM. We want a mixture, and we want as much memory as reasonable/configured in ZONE_MOVABLE. Details regarding zone imbalances can be found at [1].
3) Memory devices consist of 1..X memory block devices, however, the kernel doesn't really track the relationship. Consequently, also user space has no idea. We want to make per-device decisions.
As one example, for memory hotunplug it doesn't make sense to use a mixture of zones within a single DIMM: we want all MOVABLE if possible, otherwise all !MOVABLE, because any !MOVABLE part will easily block the whole DIMM from getting hotunplugged.
As another example, virtio-mem operates on individual units that span 1..X memory blocks. Similar to a DIMM, we want a unit to either be all MOVABLE or !MOVABLE. A "unit" can be thought of like a DIMM, however, all units of a virtio-mem device logically belong together and are managed (added/removed) by a single driver. We want as much memory of a virtio-mem device to be MOVABLE as possible.
4) We want memory onlining to be done right from the kernel while adding memory, not triggered by user space via udev rules; for example, this is reqired for fast memory hotplug for drivers that add individual memory blocks, like virito-mem. We want a way to configure a policy in the kernel and avoid implementing advanced policies in user space.
The auto-onlining support we have in the kernel is not sufficient. All we have is a) online everything MOVABLE (online_movable) b) online everything !MOVABLE (online_kernel) c) keep zones contiguous (online). This series allows configuring c) to mean instead "online movable if possible according to the coniguration, driven by a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio" -- a new onlining policy.
II. Approach
This series does 3 things:
1) Introduces the "auto-movable" online policy that initially operates on individual memory blocks only. It uses a maximum MOVABLE:KERNEL ratio to make a decision whether a memory block will be onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE or not. However, in the basic form, hotplugged KERNEL memory does not allow for more MOVABLE memory (details in the patches). CMA memory is treated like MOVABLE memory.
2) Introduces static (e.g., DIMM) and dynamic (e.g., virtio-mem) memory groups and uses group information to make decisions in the "auto-movable" online policy across memory blocks of a single memory device (modeled as memory group). More details can be found in patch #3 or in the DIMM example below.
3) Maximizes ZONE_MOVABLE memory within dynamic memory groups, by allowing ZONE_NORMAL memory within a dynamic memory group to allow for more ZONE_MOVABLE memory within the same memory group. The target use case is dynamic VM resizing using virtio-mem. See the virtio-mem example below.
I remember that the basic idea of using a ratio to implement a policy in the kernel was once mentioned by Vitaly Kuznetsov, but I might be wrong (I lost the pointer to that discussion).
For me, the main use case is using it along with virtio-mem (and DIMMs / ppc64 dlpar where necessary) for dynamic resizing of VMs, increasing the amount of memory we can hotunplug reliably again if we might eventually hotplug a lot of memory to a VM.
III. Target Usage
The target usage will be:
1) Linux boots with "mhp_default_online_type=offline"
2) User space (e.g., systemd unit) configures memory onlining (according to a config file and system properties), for example: * Setting memory_hotplug.online_policy=auto-movable * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_ratio=301 * Setting memory_hotplug.auto_movable_numa_aware=true
3) User space enabled auto onlining via "echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks"
4) User space triggers manual onlining of all already-offline memory blocks (go over offline memory blocks and set them to "online")
IV. Example
For DIMMs, hotplugging 4 GiB DIMMs to a 4 GiB VM with a configured ratio of 301% results in the following layout: Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early) Memory block 32-47: Normal (early) Memory block 48-79: Movable (DIMM 0) Memory block 80-111: Movable (DIMM 1) Memory block 112-143: Movable (DIMM 2) Memory block 144-275: Normal (DIMM 3) Memory block 176-207: Normal (DIMM 4) ... all Normal (-> hotplugged Normal memory does not allow for more Movable memory)
For virtio-mem, using a simple, single virtio-mem device with a 4 GiB VM will result in the following layout: Memory block 0-15: DMA32 (early) Memory block 32-47: Normal (early) Memory block 48-143: Movable (virtio-mem, first 12 GiB) Memory block 144: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB) Memory block 145-147: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB) Memory block 148: Normal (virtio-mem, next 128 MiB) Memory block 149-151: Movable (virtio-mem, next 384 MiB) ... Normal/Movable mixture as above (-> hotplugged Normal memory allows for more Movable memory within the same device)
Which gives us maximum flexibility when dynamically growing/shrinking a VM in smaller steps.
V. Doc Update
I'll update the memory-hotplug.rst documentation, once the overhaul [1] is usptream. Until then, details can be found in patch #2.
VI. Future Work
1) Use memory groups for ppc64 dlpar 2) Being able to specify a portion of (early) kernel memory that will be excluded from the ratio. Like "128 MiB globally/per node" are excluded.
This might be helpful when starting VMs with extremely small memory footprint (e.g., 128 MiB) and hotplugging memory later -- not wanting the first hotplugged units getting onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE. One alternative would be a trigger to not consider ZONE_DMA memory in the ratio. We'll have to see if this is really rrequired. 3) Indicate to user space that MOVABLE might be a bad idea -- especially relevant when memory ballooning without support for balloon compaction is active.
This patch (of 9):
For implementing a new memory onlining policy, which determines when to online memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE semi-automatically, we need the number of present early (boot) pages -- present pages excluding hotplugged pages. Let's track these pages per zone.
Pass a page instead of the zone to adjust_present_page_count(), similar as adjust_managed_page_count() and derive the zone from the page.
It's worth noting that a memory block to be offlined/onlined is either completely "early" or "not early". add_memory() and friends can only add complete memory blocks and we only online/offline complete (individual) memory blocks.

mm: sparse: pass section_nr to find_memory_block
With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME enabled, __section_nr() which converts mem_section to section_nr could be costly since it iterates all section roots to check if the given mem_section is in its range.
On the other hand, __nr_to_section() which converts section_nr to mem_section can be done in O(1).
Let's pass section_nr instead of mem_section ptr to find_memory_block() in order to reduce needless iterations.
