For now, distributions implement advanced udev rules to essentially
- Don't online any hotplugged memory (s390x)
- Online all memory to ZONE_NORMAL (e.g., most virt environments like
hyperv)
- Online all memory to ZONE_MOVABLE in case the zone imbalance is taken
care of (e.g., bare metal, special virt environments)
In summary: All memory is usually onlined the same way, however, the
kernel always has to ask user space to come up with the same answer.
E.g., Hyper-V always waits for a memory block to get onlined before
continuing, otherwise it might end up adding memory faster than
onlining it, which can result in strange OOM situations. This waiting
slows down adding of a bigger amount of memory.
Let's allow to specify a default online_type, not just "online" and
"offline". This allows distributions to configure the default online_type
when booting up and be done with it.
We can now specify "offline", "online", "online_movable" and
"online_kernel" via
- "memhp_default_state=" on the kernel cmdline
- /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
just like we are able to specify for a single memory block via
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/state
