The user will be confused(why this function just counts for high or
normal memory node? does it counts for ZONE_MOVABLE's lru pages?)
until someone else tell them N_HIGH_MEMORY is reused to stand for
nodes that have any memory.
A.cont) If we introduce N_MEMORY, we can reduce this confusing
AND make the code more clearly:
A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:
One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {
It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.
The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);
It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.
B) This reusing is out-dated if we introduce MOVABLE-dedicated node.
The MOVABLE-dedicated node should not appear in
node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY] nor node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
because MOVABLE-dedicated node has no high or normal memory.
In x86_64, N_HIGH_MEMORY=N_NORMAL_MEMORY, if a MOVABLE-dedicated node
is in node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it is also means it is in
node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], it causes SLUB wrong.
The slub uses
for_each_node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
and creates kmem_cache_node for MOVABLE-dedicated node and cause problem.
In one word, we need a N_MEMORY. We just intrude it as an alias to
N_HIGH_MEMORY and fix all im-proper usages of N_HIGH_MEMORY in late

H. Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever
after the first allocation. Here's implementation of lockless refcounting
for huge zero page.
We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They
manipulate reference counter.
If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes
two references: one for caller and one for shrinker. We free the page
only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the
reference).
put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter. Counter is never zero in
put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference.
Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent
allocate-free.
Refcounting has cost. On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on
parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page
allocation. I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.

During testing I noticed big (up to 2.5 times) memory consumption overhead
on some workloads (e.g. ft.A from NPB) if THP is enabled.
The main reason for that big difference is lacking zero page in THP case.
We have to allocate a real page on read page fault.
A program to demonstrate the issue:
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define MB 1024*1024
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *p;
int i;
posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2 * MB, 200 * MB);
for (i = 0; i < 200 * MB; i+= 4096)
assert(p[i] == 0);
pause();
return 0;
}
With thp-never RSS is about 400k, but with thp-always it's 200M. After
the patcheset thp-always RSS is 400k too.
Design overview.
Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with
zeros. The way how we allocate it changes in the patchset:
- [01/10] simplest way: hzp allocated on boot time in hugepage_init();
- [09/10] lazy allocation on first use;
- [10/10] lockless refcounting + shrinker-reclaimable hzp;
We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address
is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault. If we fail to setup
hzp (ENOMEM) we fallback to handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP.
On wp fault to hzp we allocate real memory for the huge page and clear it.
If ENOMEM, graceful fallback: we create a new pmd table and set pte
around fault address to newly allocated normal (4k) page. All other ptes
in the pmd set to normal zero page.
We cannot split hzp (and it's bug if we try), but we can split the pmd
which points to it. On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes
set to normal zero page.
===
By hpa's request I've tried alternative approach for hzp implementation
(see Virtual huge zero page patchset): pmd table with all entries set to
zero page. This way should be more cache friendly, but it increases TLB
pressure.
The problem with virtual huge zero page: it requires per-arch enabling.
We need a way to mark that pmd table has all ptes set to zero page.
Some numbers to compare two implementations (on 4s Westmere-EX):

test:
posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2 * MB, 8 * GB);

mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory
Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug. This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore". It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:
o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.
Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
"online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.
Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
to save/(reduce waste) memory.
Memory capacity on Demand
o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
"online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
expected when we logic-online it.
This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.
o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
management).
(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)
Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.
When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.
Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch introduces the helper functions as well as the necessary changes
to teach compaction and migration bits how to cope with pages which are
part of a guest memory balloon, in order to make them movable by memory
compaction procedures.

mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility fix
It's useful to keep memory defragmented so that all high-order page
allocations have a chance to succeed, not simply transparent hugepages.
Thus, allow balloon compaction for any system with memory compaction
enabled, which is the defconfig.

mm: fix balloon_page_movable() page->flags check
Fix the following crash by fixing and enhancing the way page->flags are
tested to identify a ballooned page.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000194
IP: [<ffffffff8122b354>] isolate_migratepages_range+0x344/0x7b0
The NULL pointer deref was taking place because balloon_page_movable()
page->flags tests were incomplete and we ended up inadvertently poking at
private pages.

This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on

to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

mm: redefine address_space.assoc_mapping
Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*. By this
approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space
association with other data structures through ->private_data.
Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
its new name and type change (->private_data).

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,
running on a 4gB RAM KVM guest which was ballooning 512mB RAM in 64mB
chunks, at every minute (inflating/deflating), while test was running:
Introduce MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS as the default return code for
address_space_operations.migratepage() method and documents the expected
return code for the same method in failure cases.

Sorry for the mistakes. The following changes should fix what's been reported so far.
