(#1670728) rules: implement new memory hotplug policy #281

jsynacek · 2019-01-30T09:43:11Z

Our new policy is based on following motivations (assumptions),

we want to allow the system to use hotplugged memory
we want memory ballon inflation to work as expected in VMs (going for small
to big in terms of memory footprint)
we want to allow memory hotplug and memory hot-unplug on high-end
enterprise server (we assume that node0 will have sufficient memory
resources and marking all memory as movable shouldn't be a problem)

Policy:

nevert online memory on s390 (on both physical and z/VM)
mark memory as "online_movable" on physical machines
mark memory as "online" in VMs

If you have the feeling that all this is very wrong and we shouldn't
encode complex policies in udev rules you are absolutely right. However,
for now, we don't have any better place where to put it. In ideal world
we would have a user-space daemon that would be able to configure the
system wrt. to currently present HW and user-defined policy.

Resolves: #1670728

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: allow to specify a default online_type". 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. Everytime 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 is handled via a user space daemon AFAIK ONLINE_TYPE="offline" elif [ $VIRT == "none" ]; then echo "Detected bare-metal on $ARCH" # Bare metal users expect hotplugged memory to be unpluggable.
