From: Wen Congyang <wency at cn.fujitsu.com>
This patch series aims to support physical memory hot-remove.
The patches can free/remove the following things:
- acpi_memory_info : [RFC PATCH 4/19]
- /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type} : [RFC PATCH 8/19]
- iomem_resource : [RFC PATCH 9/19]
- mem_section and related sysfs files : [RFC PATCH 10-11, 13-16/19]
- page table of removed memory : [RFC PATCH 12/19]
- node and related sysfs files : [RFC PATCH 18-19/19]
If you find lack of function for physical memory hot-remove, please let me
know.
Known problems:
1. memory can't be offlined when CONFIG_MEMCG is selected.
change log of v8:
[RFC PATCH v8 17/20]
* Fix problems when one node's range include the other nodes
[RFC PATCH v8 18/20]
* fix building error when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
is not defined.
[RFC PATCH v8 19/20]
* don't offline node when some memory sections are not removed
[RFC PATCH v8 20/20]
* create new patch: clear hwpoisoned flag when onlining pages
change log of v7:
[RFC PATCH v7 4/19]
* do not continue if acpi_memory_device_remove_memory() fails.
[RFC PATCH v7 15/19]
* handle usemap in register_page_bootmem_info_section() too.
change log of v6:
[RFC PATCH v6 12/19]
* fix building error on other archtitectures than x86
[RFC PATCH v6 15-16/19]
* fix building error on other archtitectures than x86
change log of v5:
* merge the patchset to clear page table and the patchset to hot remove
memory(from ishimatsu) to one big patchset.
[RFC PATCH v5 1/19]
* rename remove_memory() to offline_memory()/offline_pages()
[RFC PATCH v5 2/19]
* new patch: implement offline_memory(). This function offlines pages,
update memory block's state, and notify the userspace that the memory
block's state is changed.
[RFC PATCH v5 4/19]
* offline and remove memory in acpi_memory_disable_device() too.
[RFC PATCH v5 17/19]
* new patch: add a new function __remove_zone() to revert the things done
in the function __add_zone().
[RFC PATCH v5 18/19]
* flush work befor reseting node device.
change log of v4:
* remove "memory-hotplug : unify argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug"
from the patch series, since the patch is a bugfix. It is being disccussed
on other thread. But for testing the patch series, the patch is needed.
So I added the patch as [PATCH 0/13].
[RFC PATCH v4 2/13]
* check memory is online or not at remove_memory()
* add memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() to acpi_memory_device_remove() for
getting node id
[RFC PATCH v4 3/13]
* create new patch : check memory is online or not at online_pages()
[RFC PATCH v4 4/13]
* add __ref section to remove_memory()
* call firmware_map_remove_entry() before remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry()
[RFC PATCH v4 11/13]
* rewrite register_page_bootmem_memmap() for removing page used as PT/PMD
change log of v3:
* rebase to 3.5.0-rc6
[RFC PATCH v2 2/13]
* remove extra kobject_put()
* The patch was commented by Wen. Wen's comment is
"acpi_memory_device_remove() should ignore a return value of
remove_memory() since caller does not care the return value".
But I did not change it since I think caller should care the
return value. And I am trying to fix it as follow:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/5/624
[RFC PATCH v2 4/13]
* remove a firmware_memmap_entry allocated by kzmalloc()
change log of v2:
[RFC PATCH v2 2/13]
* check whether memory block is offline or not before calling offline_memory()
* check whether section is valid or not in is_memblk_offline()
* call kobject_put() for each memory_block in is_memblk_offline()
[RFC PATCH v2 3/13]
* unify the end argument of firmware_map_add_early/hotplug
[RFC PATCH v2 4/13]
* add release_firmware_map_entry() for freeing firmware_map_entry
[RFC PATCH v2 6/13]
* add release_memory_block() for freeing memory_block
[RFC PATCH v2 11/13]
* fix wrong arguments of free_pages()
