[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix node meminfo and zoneinfo corruption.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Mon Nov 10 2014 - 20:28:11 EST


There are two problems in memory hot-add progress:

1. When hot-adding a node without onlining any page, node meminfo corrupted:

# hot-add node2 (memory not onlined)
# cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo
Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB /* corrupted */
Node 2 MemFree: 0 kB
Node 2 MemUsed: 33554432 kB
Node 2 Active: 0 kB
......


2. When onlining memory on node2, node2 zoneinfo and node3 meminfo corrupted:

# for ((i = 2048; i < 2064; i++)); do echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/memory$i/state; done
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node2/meminfo
Node 2 MemTotal: 33554432 kB
Node 2 MemFree: 33549092 kB
Node 2 MemUsed: 5340 kB
......
# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node3/meminfo
Node 3 MemTotal: 0 kB
Node 3 MemFree: 248 kB /* corrupted, should be 0 */
Node 3 MemUsed: 0 kB
......

# cat /proc/zoneinfo
......
Node 2, zone Movable
......
spanned 8388608
present 16777216 /* corrupted, should be 8388608 */
managed 8388608



Change log v1 -> v2:
1. Replace patch 2/2 with a new one. It provides the simplest way to
fix problem 2.

Tang Chen (2):
mem-hotplug: Reset node managed pages when hot-adding a new pgdat.
mem-hotplug: Reset node present pages when hot-adding a new pgdat.
