[PATCH v2] hugetlb: Support node specified when using cma for gigantic hugepages

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Thu Oct 14 2021 - 02:08:27 EST


Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is
balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of
CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with
commit 86acc55c3d32 ("hugetlbfs: extend the definition of hugepages
parameter to support node allocation")[1].

For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be
different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable
for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned by
Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node.

On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory,
like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to
specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion
of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads.

Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support
specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows:

hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G

which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2
respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to
allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

Changes from v1:
- Update the commit log.
- Avoid changing the behavior for 'balanced' gigantic huge page pool
allocations.
- Catch the invalid node specified in hugetlb_cma_reserve().
- Validate the size of CMA for each node in hugetlb_cma_reserve().
