Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks. Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon. This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge added resources in this scenario where possible. Resources are effectively stored in a list-based tree. Having a lot of resources not only wastes memory, it also makes traversing that tree more expensive, and makes /proc/iomem explode in size (e.g., requiring kexec-tools to manually merge resources when creating a kdump header. The current kexec-tools resource count limit does not allow for more than ~100GB of memory with a memory block size of 128MB on x86-64). Let's allow to selectively merge system ram resources by specifying a new flag for add_memory*(). Patch #5 contains a /proc/iomem example. Only tested with virtio-mem. v1 -> v2: - I had another look at v1 after vacation and didn't like it - it felt like a hack. So I want forward and added a proper flag to add_memory*(), and introduce a clean (non-racy) way to mark System RAM resources mergeable. - "kernel/resource: move and rename IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED" -- Clean that flag up, felt wrong in the PnP section - "mm/memory_hotplug: prepare passing flags to add_memory() and friends" -- Previously sent in other context - decided to keep Wei's ack - "mm/memory_hotplug: MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE to specify merging of System RAM resources" -- Cleaner approach to get the job done by using proper flags and only merging the single, specified resource - "virtio-mem: try to merge system ram resources" "xen/balloon: try to merge system ram resources" "hv_balloon: try to merge system ram resources" -- Use the new flag MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE, much cleaner RFC -> v1: - Switch from rather generic "merge_child_mem_resources()" where a resource name has to be specified to "merge_system_ram_resources(). - Smaller comment/documentation/patch description changes/fixes David Hildenbrand (7): kernel/resource: make release_mem_region_adjustable() never fail kernel/resource: move and rename IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED mm/memory_hotplug: prepare passing flags to add_memory() and friends mm/memory_hotplug: MEMHP_MERGE_RESOURCE to specify merging of System RAM resources virtio-mem: try to merge system ram resources xen/balloon: try to merge system ram resources hv_balloon: try to merge system ram resources arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c | 2 +- .../platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c | 2 +- drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c | 2 +- drivers/base/memory.c | 2 +- drivers/dax/kmem.c | 2 +- drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c | 2 +- drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c | 2 +- drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c | 3 +- drivers/xen/balloon.c | 2 +- include/linux/ioport.h | 12 +- include/linux/memory_hotplug.h | 19 ++- kernel/kexec_file.c | 2 +- kernel/resource.c | 109 ++++++++++++++---- mm/memory_hotplug.c | 48 +++----- 14 files changed, 141 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-)
