The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a
higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to
make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed
pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA
node to improve the performance.

In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path
relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel
initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The
current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the
tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based
on the distances between nodes.

This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several
important use cases:

* The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA
  node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high
  performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual
  machine) and that should be put into a higher tier.

* The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a
  system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes
  should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed
  into the next lower tier.

* Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top
  tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from
  CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets
  changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the
  tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory
  accounting.

* A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the
  next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any
  lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use
  cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another
  node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node
  is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to
  override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This
  demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order
  when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can
  fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't
  allow that.

This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under
the control of device driver.

Memory Tier Initialization
==========================

Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of
a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract 
distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows
for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory
tier.

By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with
abstract distance 512.

A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example,
PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its
memory nodes above the default tier.

The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory
node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well
as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware.

Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy.

Changes from v12
* Fix kernel crash on module unload
* Address review feedback.
* Add node_random patch to this series based on review feedback

Changes from v11:
* smaller abstract distance imply faster(higher) memory tier.

Changes from v10:
* rename performance level to abstract distance
* Thanks to all the good feedback from Huang, Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>.
  Updated the patchset to cover most of the review feedback.

Changes from v9:
* Use performance level for initializing memory tiers.

Changes from v8:
* Drop the sysfs interface patches and  related documentation changes.

Changes from v7:
* Fix kernel crash with demotion.
* Improve documentation.

Changes from v6:
* Drop the usage of rank.
* Address other review feedback.

Changes from v5:
* Remove patch supporting N_MEMORY node removal from memory tiers. memory tiers
  are going to be used for features other than demotion. Hence keep all N_MEMORY
  nodes in memory tiers irrespective of whether they want to participate in promotion or demotion.
* Add NODE_DATA->memtier
* Rearrage patches to add sysfs files later.
* Add support to create memory tiers from userspace.
* Address other review feedback.


Changes from v4:
* Address review feedback.
* Reverse the meaning of "rank": higher rank value means higher tier.
* Add "/sys/devices/system/memtier/default_tier".
* Add node_is_toptier

v4:
Add support for explicit memory tiers and ranks.

v3:
- Modify patch 1 subject to make it more specific
- Remove /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_targets interface, use
  /sys/devices/system/node/demotion_targets instead and make
  it writable to override node_states[N_DEMOTION_TARGETS].
- Add support to view per node demotion targets via sysfs

v2:
In v1, only 1st patch of this patch series was sent, which was
implemented to avoid some of the limitations on the demotion
target sharing, however for certain numa topology, the demotion
targets found by that patch was not most optimal, so 1st patch
in this series is modified according to suggestions from Huang
and Baolin. Different examples of demotion list comparasion
between existing implementation and changed implementation can
be found in the commit message of 1st patch.

In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path
relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel
initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The
current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds
the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the
distances between nodes.

This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several
important use cases,

The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA
node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance
memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that
should be put into a higher tier.

The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a
system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices
should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into
the next lower tier.

With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest
distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other
node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use
cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another
node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is
out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation
fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page
allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion
order doesn't allow that.

This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly.

Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of
a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract
distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows
for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory
tier.

This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract
distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract
distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices
can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like
persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM
level.

If the new NUMA node onlined doesn't have a abstract distance assigned,
the kernel adds the NUMA node to default memory tier.

By default, all nodes are assigned to the default memory tier which
is the memory tier designated for nodes with DRAM

Set dax kmem device node's tier to slower memory tier by assigning
abstract distance to MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE. Low-level drivers
like papr_scm or ACPI NFIT can initialize memory device type to a
more accurate value based on device tree details or HMAT. If the
kernel doesn't find the memory type initialized, a default slower
memory type is assigned by the kmem driver.

This patch switch the demotion target building logic to use memory tiers
instead of NUMA distance. All N_MEMORY NUMA nodes will be placed in the
default memory tier and additional memory tiers will be added by drivers like
dax kmem.

This patch builds the demotion target for a NUMA node by looking at all
memory tiers below the tier to which the NUMA node belongs. The closest node
in the immediately following memory tier is used as a demotion target.

Since we are now only building demotion target for N_MEMORY NUMA nodes
the CPU hotplug calls are removed in this patch.

- * node_demotion[] example:
- *
- * Consider a system with two sockets.  Each socket has
- * three classes of memory attached: fast, medium and slow.
- * Each memory class is placed in its own NUMA node.  The
- * CPUs are placed in the node with the "fast" memory.  The
- * 6 NUMA nodes (0-5) might be split among the sockets like
- * this:
- *
- *	Socket A: 0, 1, 2
- *	Socket B: 3, 4, 5
- *
- * When Node 0 fills up, its memory should be migrated to
- * Node 1.  When Node 1 fills up, it should be migrated to
- * Node 2.  The migration path start on the nodes with the
- * processors (since allocations default to this node) and
- * fast memory, progress through medium and end with the
- * slow memory:
- *
- *	0 -> 1 -> 2 -> stop
- *	3 -> 4 -> 5 -> stop
- *
- * This is represented in the node_demotion[] like this:
- *
- *	{  nr=1, nodes[0]=1 }, // Node 0 migrates to 1
- *	{  nr=1, nodes[0]=2 }, // Node 1 migrates to 2
- *	{  nr=0, nodes[0]=-1 }, // Node 2 does not migrate
- *	{  nr=1, nodes[0]=4 }, // Node 3 migrates to 4
- *	{  nr=1, nodes[0]=5 }, // Node 4 migrates to 5
- *	{  nr=0, nodes[0]=-1 }, // Node 5 does not migrate
- *
- * Moreover some systems may have multiple slow memory nodes.
- * Suppose a system has one socket with 3 memory nodes, node 0
- * is fast memory type, and node 1/2 both are slow memory
- * type, and the distance between fast memory node and slow
- * memory node is same. So the migration path should be:
- *
- *	0 -> 1/2 -> stop
- *
- * This is represented in the node_demotion[] like this:
- *	{ nr=2, {nodes[0]=1, nodes[1]=2} }, // Node 0 migrates to node 1 and node 2
- *	{ nr=0, nodes[0]=-1, }, // Node 1 dose not migrate
- *	{ nr=0, nodes[0]=-1, }, // Node 2 does not migrate
- */
-
-/*
- * Writes to this array occur without locking.  Cycles are
- * not allowed: Node X demotes to Y which demotes to X...
- *

Also update different helpes to use NODE_DATA()->memtier. Since
node specific memtier can change based on the reassignment of
NUMA node to a different memory tiers, accessing NODE_DATA()->memtier
needs to happen under an rcu read lock or memory_tier_lock.

From: Jagdish Gediya <jvgediya.oss@gmail.com>

Currently, a higher tier node can only be demoted to selected nodes on the next
lower tier as defined by the demotion path. This strict demotion order does not
work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket
demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the
preferred demotion node is out of space). This demotion order is also
inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a
higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from
any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that currently.

This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets for a memory
tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified to utilize this allowed node
mask as the fallback allocation mask.

With memory tiers support we can have memory only NUMA nodes
in the top tier from which we want to avoid promotion tracking NUMA
faults. Update node_is_toptier to work with memory tiers.
All NUMA nodes are by default top tier nodes. With lower memory
tiers added we consider all memory tiers above a memory tier having
CPU NUMA nodes as a top memory tier

The most common case for certain node_random usage (demotion nodemask) is with
nodemask weight 1. We can avoid calling get_random_init() in that case and
always return the only node set in the nodemask.

Although not absolutely necessary, it seems better to set
node_memory_types[] before adding nodes to the memory type and adding
the memory type to the memory tier.

I don't know how ACPI NFIT can help here.  Can you teach me?

Per my understanding, we may use the information provided by ACPI SLIT
or HMAT (or device tree via papr_scm) to create memory types.  Before
that is implemented, we just create a memory type with default abstract
distance.

We have 2 choices here.

1. The low level drivers create memory types and set
node_memory_types[].  We need a mechanism to coordinate among multiple
drivers.  On x86, we have ACPI SLIT, HMAT.  And we have platform
independent CXL defined CDAT.

2. The high level driver (such as dax/kmem.c) coordinate among multiple
low level drivers.  For example, it may query CXL CDAT firstly, and use
a notifier chain to query platform drivers with priority.

Personally, I prefer choice 2.  We can discuss this later.  But can we
make the comments more general to avoid to make decision now?

I don't think "slowmem" make much sense here.  There may be even slower
memory.  Just dax_mem_type or dax_kmem_type should be OK?

I don't find error handling in this function.  Per my understanding, if
memory hot-add fails, we need to call clear_node_memory_type().

Here we initialize the kref to 1.  So in dax_kmem_exit() we should drop
the last reference, otherwise we cannot free the memory type?

It appears that we can define a function to initialize a memory type.

The synchronize_rcu() is also needed because we may free the memory
tier.

I think that this patch can sit between [5/9] and [6/9], just after it
is used.

Per my understanding, first_node() is the formal API and we should use
that?  Just like we use nodes_weight() instead of __nodes_weight().

After adding pgdat->memtier, it appears there's unnecessary to keep
memtype->memtier?

My idea is to use ACPI NFIT driver that creates a persistent memory region
(nvdimm_region_create) to also create memory type and assign that to the
NUMA node mapping that region. For now NFIT driver manages all the persistent
memory region/DIMM creation (drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c). It can also do the
memory type creation using other ACPI information like SLIT/HMAT etc. Similarly
CXL driver can do the same using CDAT.

Dan Williams had a question about why we are adding an abstract distance slower than DRAM in
dax/kmem where we can also initialize faster than DRAM memory using kmem. The
"slowmem" was added to indicate that this type is slower than DRAM.

It do simplify find_create_memory_tier() where I use if (memtype->memtier) 
to check whether the memtype is already added to a memory tier. I could switch
that to list_empty(memtype->tier_sibiling). But I felt the current one is much
cleaner

I prefer "list_empty(memtype->tier_sibiling)".  But I will let you to
decide.

I still think that it's better to create memory types in dax/kmem.c and
CXL driver.  But we can discuss further on that later.
