[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Make the CMM memory hotplug aware
Robert Jennings
rcj at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Fri Oct 2 05:56:20 EST 2009
The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages
over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can
severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug
memory remove operation.
This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier.
The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in
the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the pages in
a pageblock are owned by the balloon. The hotplug notifier will free
pages in the range which is to be removed. The priority of the hotplug
notifier is low so that it will be called near last, this helps avoids
removing loaned pages in operations that fail due to other handlers.
CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active
and resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time
to adjust.
