[PATCH V2 1/3] pseries/nodes: Ensure enough nodes avail for operations

[Michael Bringmann]

pseries/nodes: On pseries systems which allow 'hot-add' of CPU or
memory resources, it may occur that the new resources are to be
inserted into nodes that were not used for these resources at bootup.
In the kernel, any node that is used must be defined and initialized.
This patch ensures that sufficient nodes are defined to support
configuration requirements after boot, as well as at boot.

This patch extracts the value of the lowest domain level (number
of allocable resources) from the device tree property
"ibm,max-associativity-domains" to use as the maximum number of nodes
to setup as possibly available in the system.  This new setting will
override the instruction,

    nodes_and(node_possible_map, node_possible_map, node_online_map);

presently seen in the function arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:initmem_init().

If the property is not present at boot, no operation will be performed
to define or enable additional nodes.

[PATCH V2 2/3] pseries/findnodes: Find nodes with memory for memoryless nodes

[Michael Bringmann]

pseries/findnodes: On pseries systems which allow 'hot-add' of
resources, we may boot configurations that have CPUs, but no memory
associated to a node by the affinity calculations.  Previously, the
software took a shortcut to collapse initialization and references
to such memoryless nodes with other nodes that did have memory
associated with them at boot.  This patch is based on fixes that
allow the proper initialization and distinguishment of memoryless
and memory-plus nodes after NUMA initialization.  It extends the
use of the 'node_to_mem_node()' API from 'topology.h' to modules
that are allocating node-specific memory at boot, and allows such
references to find available memory in another node.

[PATCH V2 3/3] pseries/initnodes: Ensure nodes initialized for hotplug

[Michael Bringmann]

pseries/nodes: On pseries systems which allow 'hot-add' of CPU,
it may occur that the new resources are to be inserted into nodes
that were not used for memory resources at bootup.  Many different
configurations of PowerPC resources may need to be supported depending
upon the environment.  This patch fixes some problems encountered at
runtime with configurations that support memory-less nodes, or that
hot-add resources during system execution after boot.

This isn't a powerpc or pseries patch, so the subject/prefix is wrong.

Also because you're changing generic code you need to provide an
explanation that makes sense in general, across all architectures, not
just in terms of what the pseries platform does.

This is called a "memory-less node" and is understood by the generic
code.

What exactly is unproper about the current code?

The term "modules" has a specific meaning in Linux which is not correct
here. We would just say "in two functions" or "in two files".

What is this trying to do?

local_memory_node() is supposed to return a "local" node for nodes with
no memory.

And in fact the comment says:

  * Used for initializing percpu 'numa_mem'

Which is what we do:

	set_numa_mem(local_memory_node(numa_cpu_lookup_table[cpu]));

And is what's returned by node_to_mem_node():

  static inline void set_numa_mem(int node)
  {
  	this_cpu_write(_numa_mem_, node);
  	_node_numa_mem_[numa_node_id()] = node;
  }
  
  static inline int node_to_mem_node(int node)
  {
  	return _node_numa_mem_[node];
  }

So your change effectively ends up doing:

	return local_memory_node(local_memory_node(cpu_to_node(i)));

Which doesn't look right.


cheers

Hello:
    Sorry for the out-of-date description.  This entire patch has been
removed / eliminated from subsequent patch sets.  All changes to correct
powerpc memoryless nodes will be confined to powerpc-specific code.
    Regards,
Michael
