[PATCH v1 0/4] mm/memory_hotplug: full support for

[David Hildenbrand]

Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64,
don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently,
kexec_file can still end up placing images on such driver-managed memory,
resulting in undesired behavior.

Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially
relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b27214bba
("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()").

Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code
when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on
arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.

Alternative A: Extend kexec_walk_memblock() to consult the kernel resource
tree whether IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED is set. This feels wrong,
because the goal was to rely on memblock and not the resource tree.

Alternative B: Reuse MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG. MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG serves a different
purpose, though.

[PATCH v1 1/4] mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblock_add_node() failures in add_memory_resource()

[David Hildenbrand]

If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory.
While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added
without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use
memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of
silently ignoring the error.

[PATCH v1 2/4] memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()

[David Hildenbrand]

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we don't want to add the memory first and apply flags later: it
should happen within one memblock call.

[PATCH v1 2/4] memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()

[David Hildenbrand]

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we don't want to add the memory first and apply flags later: it
should happen within one memblock call.

[PATCH v1 3/4] memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED.
Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory
like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory -- for example, when selecting memory
regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via
for_each_mem_range().

However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via
for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place
kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED
without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

Let's document why kexec_walk_memblock() won't try placing images on
areas marked MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED -- similar to
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED handling in locate_mem_hole_callback()
via kexec_walk_resources().

We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable
(IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures
that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem
support.

[PATCH v1 4/4] mm/memory_hotplug: indicate MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED with IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED

[David Hildenbrand]

Let's communicate driver-managed regions to memblock, to properly
teach kexec_file with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to not place images on
these memory regions.

Re: [PATCH v1 2/4] memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()

Why is it important that the system is up and why it should happen in a
single call?
I don't mind adding flags parameter to memblock_add_node() but this

"After memblock_add_node(), we could race with anybody performing a 
search for MEMBLOCK_NONE, like kexec_file -- and that only happens once 
the system is already up and running. So we want both steps to happen 
atomically."

I can add that to the patch description.

(I think it still won't be completely atomic because memblock isn't 
properly implementing locking yet, but that's a different story)

Unless I'm missing something they both mark memory that can be unplugged
anytime and so it should not be used in certain cases. Why is there a need

Can you please elaborate on the difference in semantics of MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG
and MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED?
Unless I'm missing something they both mark memory that can be unplugged
anytime and so it should not be used in certain cases. Why is there a need
for a new flag?

In the cover letter I have "Alternative B: Reuse MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG. 
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG serves a different purpose, though.", but looking into 
the details it won't work as is.

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG is used to mark memory early during boot that can later 
get hotunplugged again and should be placed into ZONE_MOVABLE if the 
"movable_node" kernel parameter is set.

The confusing part is that we talk about "hotpluggable" but really mean 
"hotunpluggable": the reason is that HW flags DIMM slots that can later 
be hotplugged as "hotpluggable" even though there is already something 
hotplugged.

For example, ranges in the ACPI SRAT that are marked as 
ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE will be marked MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG early during 
boot (drivers/acpi/numa/srat.c:acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init()). Later, 
we use that information to size ZONE_MOVABLE 
(mm/page_alloc.c:find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()). This will make 
sure that these "hotpluggable" DIMMs can later get hotunplugged.

Also, see should_skip_region() how this relates to the "movable_node" 
kernel parameter:

	/* skip hotpluggable memory regions if needed */
	if (movable_node_is_enabled() && memblock_is_hotpluggable(m) &&
	    (flags & MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG))
		return true;

Long story short: MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG has different semantics and is a 
special case for "movable_node".

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG name is indeed somewhat confusing, but still it's core
meaning "this memory may be removed" which does not differ from what
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED means.

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG regions are indeed placed into ZONE_MOVABLE, but more
importantly, they are avoided when we allocate memory from memblock.

So, in my view, both flags mean that the memory may be removed and it
should not be used for certain types of allocations.

Hmm, I think that the movable_node_is_enabled() check here is excessive,
but I suspect we cannot simply remove it without breaking anything.

I'll take a deeper look on the potential consequences.

BTW, is there anything that prevents putting kexec to hot-unplugable memory
that was cold-plugged on boot?

Hmm, I think that the movable_node_is_enabled() check here is excessive,
but I suspect we cannot simply remove it without breaking anything.

I'll take a deeper look on the potential consequences.

BTW, is there anything that prevents putting kexec to hot-unplugable memory
that was cold-plugged on boot?

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG name is indeed somewhat confusing, but still it's core
meaning "this memory may be removed" which does not differ from what
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED means.

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG regions are indeed placed into ZONE_MOVABLE, but more
importantly, they are avoided when we allocate memory from memblock.

So, in my view, both flags mean that the memory may be removed and it
should not be used for certain types of allocations.

The semantics are different:

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the 
firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot; 
we want this memory to be managed by ZONE_MOVABLE with "movable_node" 
set on the kernel command line, because only then we want it to be 
hotpluggable again. kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second 
kernel and can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory 
hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed.

MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as System RAM" in the 
firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added 
to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically 
hotunpluggable and the ZONE selection does not depend on "movable_core". 
kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must 
not* place kexec-images on this memory.


I would really advise against mixing concepts here.


What we could do is indicate *all* hotplugged memory (not just 
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED memory) as MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG and make 
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG less dependent on "movable_node".

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG for early boot memory: with "movable_core", place it in 
ZONE_MOVABLE. Even without "movable_core", don't place early kernel 
allocations on this memory.
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG for all memory: don't place kexec images or on this 
memory, independent of "movable_core".


memblock would then not contain the information "contained in 
firmware-provided memory map" vs. "not contained in firmware-provided 
memory map"; but I think right now it's not strictly required to have 
that information if we'd go down that path.

The reasoning is: without "movable_core" we don't want this memory to be 
hotunpluggable; consequently, we don't care if we place kexec-images on 
this memory. MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG is currently only active with "movable_core".

If we remove that check, we will always not place early kernel 
allocations on that memory, even if we don't care about ZONE_MOVABLE.

I think it depends on how the platform handles hotunpluggable DIMMs or 
hotunpluggable NUMA nodes. If the platform ends up indicates such memory 
via MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, and "movable_core" is set, memory would be put 
into ZONE_MOVABLE and kexec would not place kexec-images on that memory.

Ok, this clarifies.
This explanation should be a part of the changelog. The sentences about the
zone selection could be probably skipped, because they are less important
for this case. E.g something like:

MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the
firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot;
kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and can place
kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug, kexec has to be
re-armed.

MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in the
firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added to
the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically
hotunpluggable.  kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel
and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.
