From 5c755e9fd813810680abd56ec09a5f90143e815b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:28:19 -0700 Subject: memory-hotplug: add sysfs removable attribute for hotplug memory remove 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: ./memory/memory0/removable: 0 ./memory/memory1/removable: 0 ./memory/memory2/removable: 0 ./memory/memory3/removable: 0 ./memory/memory4/removable: 0 ./memory/memory5/removable: 0 ./memory/memory6/removable: 0 ./memory/memory7/removable: 1 ./memory/memory8/removable: 0 ./memory/memory9/removable: 0 ./memory/memory10/removable: 0 ./memory/memory11/removable: 0 ./memory/memory12/removable: 0 ./memory/memory13/removable: 0 ./memory/memory14/removable: 0 ./memory/memory15/removable: 0 ./memory/memory16/removable: 0 ./memory/memory17/removable: 1 ./memory/memory18/removable: 1 ./memory/memory19/removable: 1 ./memory/memory20/removable: 1 ./memory/memory21/removable: 1 ./memory/memory22/removable: 1 Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- drivers/base/memory.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/base') diff --git a/drivers/base/memory.c b/drivers/base/memory.c index 4d4e0e7b6e9..855ed1a9f97 100644 --- a/drivers/base/memory.c +++ b/drivers/base/memory.c @@ -100,6 +100,21 @@ static ssize_t show_mem_phys_index(struct sys_device *dev, return sprintf(buf, "%08lx\n", mem->phys_index); } +/* + * Show whether the section of memory is likely to be hot-removable + */ +static ssize_t show_mem_removable(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf) +{ + unsigned long start_pfn; + int ret; + struct memory_block *mem = + container_of(dev, struct memory_block, sysdev); + + start_pfn = section_nr_to_pfn(mem->phys_index); + ret = is_mem_section_removable(start_pfn, PAGES_PER_SECTION); + return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", ret); +} + /* * online, offline, going offline, etc. */ @@ -262,6 +277,7 @@ static ssize_t show_phys_device(struct sys_device *dev, static SYSDEV_ATTR(phys_index, 0444, show_mem_phys_index, NULL); static SYSDEV_ATTR(state, 0644, show_mem_state, store_mem_state); static SYSDEV_ATTR(phys_device, 0444, show_phys_device, NULL); +static SYSDEV_ATTR(removable, 0444, show_mem_removable, NULL); #define mem_create_simple_file(mem, attr_name) \ sysdev_create_file(&mem->sysdev, &attr_##attr_name) @@ -350,6 +366,8 @@ static int add_memory_block(unsigned long node_id, struct mem_section *section, ret = mem_create_simple_file(mem, state); if (!ret) ret = mem_create_simple_file(mem, phys_device); + if (!ret) + ret = mem_create_simple_file(mem, removable); return ret; } @@ -394,6 +412,7 @@ int remove_memory_block(unsigned long node_id, struct mem_section *section, mem_remove_simple_file(mem, phys_index); mem_remove_simple_file(mem, state); mem_remove_simple_file(mem, phys_device); + mem_remove_simple_file(mem, removable); unregister_memory(mem, section); return 0; -- cgit v1.2.3
