Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state
unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev
rules like:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"
to make this happen automatically. This is not a great solution for
virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high
memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace
process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer
as it will probably require to allocate some memory.
Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in
/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible
values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online"
which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as
they're added. The default is "offline".

drivers/base/memory.c provides a default memory_block_size_bytes()
definition explicitly marked "weak". Several architectures provide their
own definitions intended to override the default, but the "weak" attribute
on the declaration applied to the arch definitions as well, so the linker
chose one based on link order (see 10629d711e ("PCI: Remove __weak
annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node decl")).
Remove the "weak" attribute from the declaration so we always prefer a
non-weak definition over the weak one, independent of link order.

There are two ways to set the online/offline state for a memory block:
echo 0|1 > online and echo online|online_kernel|online_movable|offline >
state.
The state attribute can online a memory block with extra data, the
"online type", where the online attribute uses a default online type of
ONLINE_KEEP, same as echo online > state.
Currently there is a state_mutex that provides consistency between the
memory block state and the underlying memory.
The problem is that this code does a lot of things that the common
device layer can do for us, such as the serialization of the
online/offline handlers using the device lock, setting the dev->offline
field, and calling kobject_uevent().
This patch refactors the online/offline code to allow the common
device_[online|offline] functions to be used. The result is a simpler
and more common code path for the two state setting mechanisms. It also
removes the state_mutex from the struct memory_block as the memory block
device lock provides the state consistency.
No functional change is intended by this patch.

When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, we don't want the memory-hotplug notifier
handlers to be included in the .o files, for space reasons.
The existing hotplug_memory_notifier() tries to handle this but testing
with gcc-4.4.4 shows that it doesn't work - the hotplug functions are
still present in the .o files.
So implement a new register_hotmemory_notifier() which is a copy of
register_hotcpu_notifier(), and which actually works as desired.
hotplug_memory_notifier() and register_memory_notifier() callsites
should be converted to use this new register_hotmemory_notifier().
While we're there, let's repair the existing hotplug_memory_notifier():
it simply stomps on the register_memory_notifier() return value, so
well-behaved code cannot check for errors. Apparently non of the
existing callers were well-behaved :(

Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it
forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. This may cause
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect.
Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is
in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct,
but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set
the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear
the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed). Some memory
managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up
the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
We add node_states_check_changes_online() and
node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed
while hotpluging.
Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the
memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are
changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of
introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more
complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introducing
@status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of
@status_change_nid)

I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property. The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.
The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.
This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr). This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device is supposed to contain the
number of the physical device that the corresponding piece of memory
belongs to.
In case a physical device should be replaced or taken offline for whatever
reason it is necessary to set all corresponding memory pieces offline.
The current implementation always sets phys_device to '0' and there is no
way or hook to change that. Seems like there was a plan to implement that
but it wasn't finished for whatever reason.
So add a weak function which architectures can override to actually set
the phys_device from within add_memory_block().

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.
Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni
upon memory add / remove.
A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the
ipc namespaces.
Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own
notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace.
Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its
notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in
the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event.
Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes
msgmni for the owning namespace.

- Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is

Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
- Add notification going-online status.
It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's

- Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain

kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)
The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory
hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option.
Individual architecture patches will follow.
For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of
churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down.
