drivers/base/memory: rename MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP to MMOP_ONLINE
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: allow to specify a default online_type", v3.
Distributions nowadays use udev rules ([1] [2]) to specify if and how to
online hotplugged memory. The rules seem to get more complex with many
special cases. Due to the various special cases,
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE cannot be used. All memory hotplug
is handled via udev rules.
Every time we hotplug memory, the udev rule will come to the same
conclusion. Especially Hyper-V (but also soon virtio-mem) add a lot of
memory in separate memory blocks and wait for memory to get onlined by
user space before continuing to add more memory blocks (to not add memory
faster than it is getting onlined). This of course slows down the whole
memory hotplug process.
To make the job of distributions easier and to avoid udev rules that get
more and more complicated, let's extend the mechanism provided by
- /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
- "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline
to be able to specify also "online_movable" as well as "online_kernel"
=== Example /usr/libexec/config-memhotplug ===
#!/bin/bash
VIRT=`systemd-detect-virt --vm`
ARCH=`uname -p`
sense_virtio_mem() {
if [ -d "/sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_mem/" ]; then
DEVICES=`find /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_mem/ -maxdepth 1 -type l | wc -l`
if [ $DEVICES != "0" ]; then
return 0
fi
fi
return 1
}
if [ ! -e "/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks" ]; then
echo "Memory hotplug configuration support missing in the kernel"
exit 1
fi
if grep "memhp_default_state=" /proc/cmdline > /dev/null; then
echo "Memory hotplug configuration overridden in kernel cmdline (memhp_default_state=)"
exit 1
fi
if [ $VIRT == "microsoft" ]; then
echo "Detected Hyper-V on $ARCH"
# Hyper-V wants all memory in ZONE_NORMAL
ONLINE_TYPE="online_kernel"
elif sense_virtio_mem; then
echo "Detected virtio-mem on $ARCH"
# virtio-mem wants all memory in ZONE_NORMAL
ONLINE_TYPE="online_kernel"
elif [ $ARCH == "s390x" ] || [ $ARCH == "s390" ]; then
echo "Detected $ARCH"
# standby memory should not be onlined automatically
ONLINE_TYPE="offline"
elif [ $ARCH == "ppc64" ] || [ $ARCH == "ppc64le" ]; then
echo "Detected" $ARCH
# PPC64 onlines all hotplugged memory right from the kernel
ONLINE_TYPE="offline"
elif [ $VIRT == "none" ]; then
echo "Detected bare-metal on $ARCH"
# Bare metal users expect hotplugged memory to be unpluggable. We assume
# that ZONE imbalances on such enterpise servers cannot happen and is
# properly documented
ONLINE_TYPE="online_movable"
else
# TODO: Hypervisors that want to unplug DIMMs and can guarantee that ZONE
# imbalances won't happen
echo "Detected $VIRT on $ARCH"
# Usually, ballooning is used in virtual environments, so memory should go to
# ZONE_NORMAL. However, sometimes "movable_node" is relevant.
ONLINE_TYPE="online"
fi
echo "Selected online_type:" $ONLINE_TYPE
# Configure what to do with memory that will be hotplugged in the future
echo $ONLINE_TYPE 2>/dev/null > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
if [ $? != "0" ]; then
echo "Memory hotplug cannot be configured (e.g., old kernel or missing permissions)"
# A backup udev rule should handle old kernels if necessary
exit 1
fi
# Process all already pluggedd blocks (e.g., DIMMs, but also Hyper-V or virtio-mem)
if [ $ONLINE_TYPE != "offline" ]; then
for MEMORY in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*; do
STATE=`cat $MEMORY/state`
if [ $STATE == "offline" ]; then
echo $ONLINE_TYPE > $MEMORY/state
fi
done
fi

This patch (of 8):
The name is misleading and it's not really clear what is "kept". Let's
just name it like the online_type name we expose to user space ("online").
Add some documentation to the types.
