Re: [PATCH 8/9] memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage

From: Simon Jeons

Hi Naoya,
On 02/22/2013 03:41 AM, Naoya Horiguchi wrote:
Currently we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because
a hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.

What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need
to decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free

For other hugepage migration users, hugepage should be freed to hugepage_freelists after migration, but why I don't see any codes do this?

buddy pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages
remaining in the memory block intervene the memory offlining.
For this reason we introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().

Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().

As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.
