Commit Message

Muchun Song Aug. 19, 2022, 5:21 a.m. UTC
The following commit offload per-node sysfs creation and removal to a kworker and
did not say why it is needed.  And it also said "I don't know that this is
absolutely required".  It seems like the author was not sure as well.  Since it
only complicates the code, this patch will revert the changes to simplify the code.

  39da08cb074c ("hugetlb: offload per node attribute registrations")

We could use memory hotplug notifier to do per-node sysfs creation and removal
instead of inserting those operations to node registration and unregistration.
Then, it can reduce the code coupling between node.c and hugetlb.c.  Also, it can
simplify the code.

Any specific reason why you did not cc: the original author of this
commit, or anyone else on the patch?

I do not think we had memory hotplug notifier back in 2009 when this
commit was first written.

How did you test this?  Did you use a HUGETLBFS system and verify that
everything still works properly?  You are deleting a lot of code (always
nice), but making sure everything is still operating the same is a good
thing.

thanks,

OK. Cc Lee Schermerhorn.

Maybe not. Commit 39da08cb074c is merger in 2009. However, hotplug notifier mechanism
is merged in 2006. The document is updated in 2007 (see commit 10020ca246c5).

I really did the test (through a VM), it works properly.

Unluckily, I guess the email address is out of date since I just got bounced mail
(Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender). Remove lee.schermerhorn@hp.com from the
Cc list.

He can't see the patch here, so there is no context.  Please resend the
whole thing.  You also didn't copy the people who signed off on it (i.e.
Andi), any reason why?

How about on real hardware?  On a HUGE system with real hardware?  On a
small system?

Unluckily, his email is out of date, I cannot resend it to him.

I can resend this to Andi. Why I didn’t send to them this time is because
I just follow the output of scripts/get_maintainer.pl. I will resend a new
one.

I have test a VM with 128 GB memory, it works properly. I cannot test it on
a real hardware since I didn’t have a real hardware with hotplug memory. I
am not sure if there is some ways to emulate a hotplug memory node.

Thanks.
