mem-hotplug: handle node hole when initializing numa_meminfo.
When parsing SRAT, all memory ranges are added into numa_meminfo. In numa_init(), before entering numa_cleanup_meminfo(), all possible memory ranges are in numa_meminfo. And numa_cleanup_meminfo() removes all ranges over max_pfn or empty. But, this only works if the nodes are continuous. Let's have a look at the following example: We have an SRAT like this: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x5fffffff] SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x1ffffffffff] SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x20000000000-0x3ffffffffff] SRAT: Node 4 PXM 2 [mem 0x40000000000-0x5ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 5 PXM 3 [mem 0x60000000000-0x7ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 2 PXM 4 [mem 0x80000000000-0x9ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 3 PXM 5 [mem 0xa0000000000-0xbffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 6 PXM 6 [mem 0xc0000000000-0xdffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 7 PXM 7 [mem 0xe0000000000-0xfffffffffff] hotplug On boot, only node 0,1,2,3 exist. And the numa_meminfo will look like this: numa_meminfo.nr_blks = 9 1. on node 0: [0, 60000000] 2. on node 0: [100000000, 20000000000] 3. on node 1: [20000000000, 40000000000] 4. on node 4: [40000000000, 60000000000] 5. on node 5: [60000000000, 80000000000] 6. on node 2: [80000000000, a0000000000] 7. on node 3: [a0000000000, a0800000000] 8. on node 6: [c0000000000, a0800000000] 9. on node 7: [e0000000000, a0800000000] And numa_cleanup_meminfo() will merge 1 and 2, and remove 8,9 because the end address is over max_pfn, which is a0800000000. But 4 and 5 are not removed because their end addresses are less then max_pfn. But in fact, node 4 and 5 don't exist. In a word, numa_cleanup_meminfo() is not able to handle holes between nodes. Since memory ranges in node 4 and 5 are in numa_meminfo, in numa_register_memblks(), node 4 and 5 will be mistakenly set to online. If you run lscpu, it will show: NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142 NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157 NUMA node2 CPU(s): NUMA node3 CPU(s): NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204 NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220 In this patch, we use memblock_overlaps_region() to check if ranges in numa_meminfo overlap with ranges in memory_block. Since memory_block contains all available memory at boot time, if they overlap, it means the ranges exist. If not, then remove them from numa_meminfo. After this patch, lscpu will show: NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142 NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157 NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204 NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220 Signed-off-by: Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Cc: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Alexander Kuleshov <kuleshovmail@gmail.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
