During hotplug memory remove, memory regions should be released on a
PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks. This mirrors the code in add_memory where
resources are requested on a PAGES_PER_SECTION size.
Attempting to release the entire memory region fails because there is not
a single resource for the total number of pages being removed. Instead
the resources for the pages are split in PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks as
requested during memory add.

On large memory systems, the VM can spend way too much time scanning
through pages that it cannot (or should not) evict from memory. Not only
does it use up CPU time, but it also provokes lock contention and can
leave large systems under memory presure in a catatonic state.
This patch series improves VM scalability by:
1) putting filesystem backed, swap backed and unevictable pages
onto their own LRUs, so the system only scans the pages that it
can/should evict from memory
2) switching to two handed clock replacement for the anonymous LRUs,
so the number of pages that need to be scanned when the system
starts swapping is bound to a reasonable number
3) keeping unevictable pages off the LRU completely, so the
VM does not waste CPU time scanning them. ramfs, ramdisk,
SHM_LOCKED shared memory segments and mlock()ed VMA pages
are keept on the unevictable list.
This patch:
isolate_lru_page logically belongs to be in vmscan.c than migrate.c.
It is tough, because we don't need that function without memory migration
so there is a valid argument to have it in migrate.c. However a
subsequent patch needs to make use of it in the core mm, so we can happily
move it to vmscan.c.
Also, make the function a little more generic by not requiring that it
adds an isolated page to a given list. Callers can do that.
Note that we now have '__isolate_lru_page()', that does
something quite different, visible outside of vmscan.c
for use with memory controller. Methinks we need to
rationalize these names/purposes. --lts

Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size. A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation. This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent. In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;
o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type
On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable. Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.
Sample output of the sysfs files:

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
list_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5ea ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.
Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.
If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be
disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is.

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.
To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.
Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.
1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.
This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to
add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new
node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the
type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined
in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself.
A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than
ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not
subject to kmap.
N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure
that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.

The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.
In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.
The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.
For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

This patch fixes that problem by calling set_ratelimit() when new pages
are hot-added.

Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.
One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.
This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.

This patch is for collision check enhancement for memory hot add.
It's better to do resouce collision check before doing memory hot add,
which will touch memory management structures.
And add_section() should check section exists or not before calling
sparse_add_one_section(). (sparse_add_one_section() will do another
check anyway. but checking in memory_hotplug.c will be easy to understand.)

ioresouce handling code in memory hotplug allows not-aligned memory hot add.
But when memmap and other memory structures are initialized, parameters should
be aligned. (if not aligned, initialization of mem_map will do wrong, it
assumes parameters are aligned.) This patch fix it.
And this patch allows ioresource collision check to handle -EEXIST.

When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for
new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is
called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of
register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a
generic_code().
This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

This patch allows hot-add memory which is not aligned to section.
Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size. Considering big
section sized archs, this is not useful.
When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource
patch, we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range.
Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add
memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory().
(It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)

Add node-hot-add support to add_memory().
node hotadd uses this sequence.
1. allocate pgdat.
2. refresh NODE_DATA()
3. call free_area_init_node() to initialize
4. create sysfs entry
5. add memory (old add_memory())
6. set node online
7. run kswapd for new node.
(8). update zonelist after pages are onlined. (This is already merged in -mm
due to update phase is difference.)
Note:
To make common function as much as possible,
there is 2 changes from v2.
- The old add_memory(), which is defiend by each archs,
is renamed to arch_add_memory(). New add_memory becomes
caller of arch dependent function as a common code.
- This patch changes add_memory()'s interface
From: add_memory(start, end)
TO : add_memory(nid, start, end).
It was cause of similar code that finding node id from
physical address is inside of old add_memory() on each arch.
In addition, acpi memory hotplug driver can find node id easier.
In v2, it must walk DSDT'S _CRS by matching physical address to
get the handle of its memory device, then get _PXM and node id.
Because input is just physical address.
However, in v3, the acpi driver can use handle to get _PXM and node id
for the new memory device. It can pass just node id to add_memory().
Fix interface of arch_add_memory() is in next patche.

Change the name of old add_memory() to arch_add_memory. And use node id to
get pgdat for the node at NODE_DATA().
Note: Powerpc's old add_memory() is defined as __devinit. However,
add_memory() is usually called only after bootup.
I suppose it may be redundant. But, I'm not well known about powerpc.
So, I keep it. (But, __meminit is better at least.)

In current code, zonelist is considered to be build once, no modification.
But MemoryHotplug can add new zone/pgdat. It must be updated.
This patch modifies build_all_zonelists(). By this, build_all_zonelist() can
reconfig pgdat's zonelists.
To update them safety, this patch use stop_machine_run(). Other cpus don't
touch among updating them by using it.
In old version (V2 of node hotadd), kernel updated them after zone
initialization. But present_page of its new zone is still 0, because
online_page() is not called yet at this time. Build_zonelists() checks
present_pages to find present zone. It was too early. So, I changed it after
online_pages().

If hot-added memory's address is smaller than old area, spanned_pages will

example) Old zone_start_pfn = 0x60000, and spanned_pages = 0x10000
Added new memory's start_pfn = 0x50000, and end_pfn = 0x60000
new spanned_pages will be still 0x10000 by old code.
(It should be updated to 0x20000.) Because old_zone_end_pfn will be
0x70000, and end_pfn smaller than it. So, spanned_pages will not be
updated.
In current code, spanned_pages is updated only when end_pfn is updated.
But, it should be updated by subtraction between bigger end_pfn and new
zone_start_pfn.

We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page
work on spufs mem and register files. So far, we have used the
memory_present() function during early bootup, but that did not work when
CONFIG_NUMA was enabled.
We now use the __add_pages() function to add the mem_map when loading the
spufs module, which is a lot nicer.

When pages are onlined, not only zone->present_pages but also
pgdat->node_present_pages should be refreshed.
This parameter is used to show information at
/sys/device/system/node/nodeX/meminfo via si_meminfo_node().
So, it shows strange value for MemUsed which is calculated
