ACPI / memhotplug: Bind removable memory blocks to ACPI device nodes commit e2ff39400d81233374e780b133496a2296643d7d Details are follows: When I add a memory device, acpi_memory_enable_device() always fails as follows: ...

[ 1271.325841] acpi PNP0C80:03: acpi_memory_enable_device() error ... By this failure, hot added acpi_memory_info->enalbed is not set to 1. So when hot removing the memory device, acpi_memory_remove_memory() does nothing, since acpi_memory_info->enabled is 0. Thus I cannot hot remove the memory device. According to the messages, add_memory() succeeded. So I think that it is caused by failing acpi_bind_memory_blocks(). I'm now investigating why acpi_bind_memory_blocks() fails.

This means that either handle is NULL, which I think we can exclude, because acpi_memory_enable_device() wouldn't be called at all if that were the case, or there's a more subtle error in acpi_bind_one(). One that comes to mind is that we may be calling acpi_bind_one() twice for the same memory region, in which it will trigger -EINVAL from the sanity check in there. Also you may try to increase ACPI_MAX_PHYSICAL_NODE (in acpi_bus.h) and see if that helps. Thanks, Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.

I think it fails with -EINVAL at the place with dev_warn(dev, "ACPI handle is already set\n"). When two ACPI memory objects associate with a same memory block, the bind procedure of the 2nd ACPI memory object sees that ACPI_HANDLE(dev) is already set to the 1st ACPI memory object.

That sound's plausible, but I wonder how we can fix that? There's no way for a single physical device to have two different ACPI "companions". It looks like the memory blocks should be 64 M each in that case. Or we need to create two child devices for each memory block and associate each of them with an ACPI object. That would lead to complications in the user space interface, though. Thanks, Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.

Even bigger issue is that I do not think __add_pages() and __remove_pages() can add / delete a memory chunk that is less than 128MB. 128MB is the granularity of them.

Sorry, I had confused the above messages with the one in init_memory_mapping(), which shows a memory range being added, i.e. the size of an ACPI memory device object. But the above messages actually came from vmemmap_populate_hugepages(), which was called during boot-up. So, these messages have nothing to do with ACPI memory device objects. And even worse, I do not seem to be able to count a number of zeros... In the above messages, each memory range is 4MB (0x400000), not 64MB (0x4000000)... My bad. :-( So, while we may still need to do something for the less-than-128MB issue, Yasuaki may be hitting a different one. Let's wait for Yasuaki to give us more info.

Additional info: When I increased ACPI_MAX_PHYSICAL_NODE to 1024 and change size of acpi_device_physical_node->node_it into u32, I could hot remove memory device. But even if ACPI_MAX_PHYSICAL_NODE is set to 1024, same problem will occurs since it just supports 124GiB memory. So we need a way to change ACPI_MAX_PHYSICAL_NODE dynamically.

Can you please test the appended patch? I tested it somewhat, but since the greatest number of physical nodes per ACPI device object I can get on my test machines is 2 (and even that after hacking the kernel somewhat), that was kind of unconclusive. Thanks, Rafael --- From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Subject: ACPI: Drop physical_node_id_bitmap from struct acpi_device The physical_node_id_bitmap in struct acpi_device is only used for looking up the first currently unused phyiscal dependent node ID by acpi_bind_one(). It is not really necessary, however, because acpi_bind_one() walks the entire physical_node_list of the given device object for sanity checking anyway and if that list is always sorted by node_id, it is straightforward to find the first gap between the currently used node IDs and use that number as the ID of the new list node. This also removes the artificial limit of the maximum number of dependent physical devices per ACPI device object, which now depends only on the capacity of unsigend int. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Do you mean acpi_bind_one() needs to be able to handle such case? If so, it should not be a problem since a memory block device won't be created when add_memory() fails with the change above. So, there is no binding to be done. If you mean add_memory() needs to be able to handle a smaller range, that's quite a tough one unless we make the section size smaller. BTW, when add_memory() fails, the memory hot-add request still succeeds with no driver attached. This seems logical, but the added device is useless when no handler is attached. And it does not allow ejecting the device with no handler. I am not too worry about this since this is a rare case, but it reminded me that the framework won't handle rollback.

Perhaps we should add a flag that will cause acpi_bus_offline_companions() to fail immediately if that flag is set for the given device? Then, acpi_memory_enable_device() could set that flag for mem_device->device when either add_memory() or acpi_bind_memory_blocks() fails?

I am not sure if we need a new flag, but I agree that we could allow ejecting a device with no handler attached. We can probably skip any device specific part (such as offlining) when no handler is attached. Thanks, -Toshi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

There are two slight problems here in my view. First, even if the device cannot be ejected directly, it still will be removed when its parent is ejected, so it may be more consistent to just allow everything to be ejected regardless of whether or not it has a scan handler. Second, I guess the removal is undesirable for memory devices for which the registration of the scan handler failed, so it would be good to fail the "offline" of such devices regardless of how we get there. That's why I thought it would be good to have an "offline disabled" flag in struct acpi_device. Thanks, Rafael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

I meant rollback during hot-add. Ideally, a device should be either added in usable state (success) or failed back to the original state (rollback). Added in un-usable state is not really a success for users, and creates an odd state to deal with. But it is still a LOT better than crashing the system. So, I think this outcome is reasonable on this framework because adding rollback at this point will complicate the things unnecessarily. > There are two slight problems here in my view.

So, I think it should be safe to remove it. Thanks, -Toshi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

As long as .attach() is failed cleanly, which I think is the case for the memory handler (if not, we need to fix it), the rest of the kernel code may not know what this device is. That is, the ACPI memory handler is the only one that knows PNP0C80 is a memory device. So, I do not think the memory can be used in such case...

Yes, it can, if the kernel discovers it during boot before .attach() is first called. So say this happens and the ACPI memory device object has a parent with existing _EJ0. The memory handler's .attach() fails, so the initial acpi_bus_scan() won't walk the namespace below the memory device, but it won't return an error code either (the root device object is always there). The parent of the failed node is regarded as operational in particular. Now, acpi_scan_hot_remove() is called for the parent. Since the memory device object doesn't have "physical" devices associated with it, acpi_bus_offline_companions() will ignore it and acpi_scan_hot_remove() will go for acpi_bus_trim() and straight for _EJ0 for the parent. Splat! I agree that this is a corner case, but I wonder if leaving it this way is a good idea. :-) Thanks, Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.

In practice, this case is unlikely to happen because add_memory() fails with -EEXIST at the beginning during boot-time, and is essentially a no-op. But I agree with your point that such case may happen and is safer to not allow ejecting a device with no handler. A system crash is much worse than not being able to eject.
