Anton Blanchard 5409d2cd84 memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than PAGES_PER_SECTION
On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most
recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means
memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to
memory_section_action.

This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook
in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB
region takes:

# time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
7.9s

This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or
remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes
the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail
part way through.

The same test to offline one region now takes:

# time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
0.67s

Over 11 times faster.

Nathan Fontenot 6add7cd618 memory hotplug: sysfs probe routine should add all memory sections
As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs
memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the
probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block.  Without
this patch the current code will only add a single memory section.  I think
the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory
block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through
the sysfs interfaces.

This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow
a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections.

Nathan Fontenot d33601644c memory hotplug: Update phys_index to [start|end]_section_nr
Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property.  The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.

The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.

This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr).  This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

Nathan Fontenot 0c2c99b1b8 memory hotplug: Allow memory blocks to span multiple memory sections
Update the memory sysfs code such that each sysfs memory directory is now
considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per
memory block.  The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS
to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per
memory block (i.e. one sysfs directory per memory section).

For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple
memory sections they need only define their own memory_block_size_bytes()
routine.

Update the memory hotplug documentation to reflect the new behaviors of
memory blocks reflected in sysfs.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Heiko Carstens bc32df0089 memory hotplug: allow setting of phys_device
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device is supposed to contain the
number of the physical device that the corresponding piece of memory
belongs to.

In case a physical device should be replaced or taken offline for whatever
reason it is necessary to set all corresponding memory pieces offline.
The current implementation always sets phys_device to '0' and there is no
way or hook to change that.  Seems like there was a plan to implement that
but it wasn't finished for whatever reason.

So add a weak function which architectures can override to actually set
the phys_device from within add_memory_block().

This is part of the ops structure constification

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields

This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.

Wu Fengguang 8ff410daa0 sysdev: fix prototype for memory_sysdev_class show/store functions
The function prototype mismatches in call stack:

                [<ffffffff81494268>] print_block_size+0x58/0x60
                [<ffffffff81487e3f>] sysdev_class_show+0x1f/0x30
                [<ffffffff811d629b>] sysfs_read_file+0xcb/0x1f0
                [<ffffffff81176328>] vfs_read+0xc8/0x180

Due to prototype mismatch, print_block_size() will sprintf() into
*attribute instead of *buf, hence user space will read the initial
zeros from *buf:
	$ hexdump /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
	0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000
	0000008

After patch:
	cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
	0x8000000

This complements commits c29af9636 and 4a0b2b4dbe.

Robert Jennings 925cc71e51 mm: Add notifier in pageblock isolation for balloon drivers
Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.

Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated.  Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.

Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain.  If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

Andi Kleen facb6011f3 HWPOISON: Add soft page offline support
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space.  It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.

This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.

The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.

We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.

When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.

Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

Gary Hade c04fc586c1 mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.

Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.

In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
  - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
    on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
    downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
  - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
    previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
    during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
    onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
    to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
    node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
    could be ugly.
  - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
    of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
  - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
    sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
    of a specific node.

Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size.  A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation.  This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent.  In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;

o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type

On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable.  Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.

Sample output of the sysfs files:

./memory/memory0/removable: 0
./memory/memory1/removable: 0
./memory/memory2/removable: 0
./memory/memory3/removable: 0
./memory/memory4/removable: 0

Andi Kleen 4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Badari Pulavarty 00a41db522 driver core: register_memory/unregister_memory clean ups and bugfix
register_memory()/unregister_memory() never gets called with
"root". unregister_memory() is accessing kobject_name of
the object just freed up. Since no one uses the code,
lets take the code out. And also, make register_memory() static.

Another bug fix - before calling unregister_memory()
remove_memory_block() gets a ref on kobject. unregister_memory()
need to drop that ref before calling sysdev_unregister().

Yasunori Goto 7b78d335ac memory hotplug: rearrange memory hotplug notifier
Current memory notifier has some defects yet.  (Fortunately, nothing uses
it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them.

  - Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is
    changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions.
    Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
  - Add notification going-online status.
    It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's
    pages are available.
  - Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
    It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,
    because returned page is not used again.
  - Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs.
  - Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used.
  - Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

Andy Whitcroft 540557b943 sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map
We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it.  This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.

Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.
