[PATCH v6 03/10] mm,memory_hotplug: Implement numa node notifier
From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Mon Jun 09 2025 - 05:23:22 EST
There are at least six consumers of hotplug_memory_notifier that what they
really are interested in is whether any numa node changed its state, e.g: going
from having memory to not having memory and vice versa.
Implement a specific notifier for numa nodes when their state gets changed,
which will later be used by those consumers that are only interested
in numa node state changes.
Add documentation as well.

+Numa node notifier
+------------------
+
+There are six types of notification defined in ``include/linux/node.h``:
+
+NODE_ADDING_FIRST_MEMORY
+ Generated before memory becomes available to this node for the first time.
+
+NODE_CANCEL_ADDING_FIRST_MEMORY
+ Generated if NODE_ADDING_FIRST_MEMORY fails.
+
+NODE_ADDED_FIRST_MEMORY
+ Generated when memory has become available fo this node for the first time.
+
+NODE_REMOVING_LAST_MEMORY
+ Generated when the last memory available to this node is about to be offlined.
+
+NODE_CANCEL_REMOVING_LAST_MEMORY
+ Generated when NODE_CANCEL_REMOVING_LAST_MEMORY fails.
+
+NODE_REMOVED_LAST_MEMORY
+ Generated when the last memory available to this node has been offlined.
+
+A callback routine can be registered by calling::
+
+ hotplug_node_notifier(callback_func, priority)
+
+Callback functions with higher values of priority are called before callback
+functions with lower values.
+
+A callback function must have the following prototype::
+
+ int callback_func(
+
+ struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long action, void *arg);
+
+The first argument of the callback function (self) is a pointer to the block
+of the notifier chain that points to the callback function itself.
+The second argument (action) is one of the event types described above.
+The third argument (arg) passes a pointer of struct node_notify::
+
+ struct node_notify {
+ int nid;
+ }
+
+- nid is the node we are adding or removing memory to.
+
+ If nid >= 0, callback should create/discard structures for the
+ node if necessary.
+
+The callback routine shall return one of the values
+NOTIFY_DONE, NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, NOTIFY_STOP
+defined in ``include/linux/notifier.h``
+
+NOTIFY_DONE and NOTIFY_OK have no effect on the further processing.
+
+NOTIFY_BAD is used as response to the NODE_ADDING_FIRST_MEMORY,
+NODE_REMOVING_LAST_MEMORY, NODE_ADDED_FIRST_MEMORY or
+NODE_REMOVED_LAST_MEMORY action to cancel hotplugging.
+It stops further processing of the notification queue.
+
+NOTIFY_STOP stops further processing of the notification queue.
