[PATCH] x86, ACPI, mm: Revert SRAT support from movablemem_map boot option.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Wed Feb 27 2013 - 20:43:51 EST


The following two commits suooprt getting info from SRAT and determine
which memory is hot-pluggable, also AKA "movablemem_map=srat" boot option.

commit 01a178a94e8eaec351b29ee49fbb3d1c124cb7fb
acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT
commit e8d1955258091e4c92d5a975ebd7fd8a98f5d30f
acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready

We need to know SRAT info before memblock is ready, so that we can
prevent memblock from allocate movable memory.

To achieve goal, we moved SRAT parsing code earlier in these patches. But it broke
ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE functionality, and the fallback path of numa_init().

So we revert these two commits for now. And after that, users can only use
"movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]".

NOTE:
1) It is OK to revert only these two patches. The core problems mentioned by
Lu Yinghai:
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.

They are caused by moving SRAT parsing earlier. And "movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]"
causes no harm to kernel.

2) With these two patches reverted, memblock will start to work before we parse SRAT,
which means we won't know the end address of each node early enough.

For example:
If one node has memory [10G, 20G), and user specifies [15G, 16G), we cannot extend
it to [15G, 20G). So memblock could still have a chance to allocate memory from
[16G, 20G) for kernel, which is non-movable.

As a resule, users could only use this option in a very limit way:
They should specify the memory range to the end of each node.
