mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online
The current memory hotplug implementation relies on having all the struct pages associate with a zone/node during the physical hotplug phase (arch_add_memory->__add_pages->__add_section->__add_zone). In the vast majority of cases this means that they are added to ZONE_NORMAL. This has been so since 9d99aaa31f59 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Support memory hotadd without sparsemem") and it wasn't a big deal back then because movable onlining didn't exist yet. Much later memory hotplug wanted to (ab)use ZONE_MOVABLE for movable onlining 511c2aba8f07 ("mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory") and then things got more complicated. Rather than reconsidering the zone association which was no longer needed (because the memory hotplug already depended on SPARSEMEM) a convoluted semantic of zone shifting has been developed. Only the currently last memblock or the one adjacent to the zone_movable can be onlined movable. This essentially means that the online type changes as the new memblocks are added. Let's simulate memory hot online manually $ echo 0x100000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones Normal Movable $ echo $((0x100000000+(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable $ echo $((0x100000000+2*(128<<20))) > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable $ echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/state $ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory3?/valid_zones /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Normal This is an awkward semantic because an udev event is sent as soon as the block is onlined and an udev handler might want to online it based on some policy (e.g. association with a node) but it will inherently race with new blocks showing up. This patch changes the physical online phase to not associate pages with any zone at all. All the pages are just marked reserved and wait for the onlining phase to be associated with the zone as per the online request. There are only two requirements - existing ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE cannot overlap - ZONE_NORMAL precedes ZONE_MOVABLE in physical addresses the latter one is not an inherent requirement and can be changed in the future. It preserves the current behavior and made the code slightly simpler. This is subject to change in future. This means that the same physical online steps as above will lead to the following state: Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory33/valid_zones:Normal Movable /sys/devices/system/memory/memory34/valid_zones:Movable Implementation: The current move_pfn_range is reimplemented to check the above requirements (allow_online_pfn_range) and then updates the respective zone (move_pfn_range_to_zone), the pgdat and links all the pages in the pfn range with the zone/node. __add_pages is updated to not require the zone and only initializes sections in the range. This allowed to simplify the arch_add_memory code (s390 could get rid of quite some of code). devm_memremap_pages is the only user of arch_add_memory which relies on the zone association because it only hooks into the memory hotplug only half way. It uses it to associate the new memory with ZONE_DEVICE but doesn't allow it to be {on,off}lined via sysfs. This means that this particular code path has to call move_pfn_range_to_zone explicitly. The original zone shifting code is kept in place and will be removed in the follow up patch for an easier review. Please note that this patch also changes the original behavior when offlining a memory block adjacent to another zone (Normal vs. Movable) used to allow to change its movable type. This will be handled later.
