[PATCH v2 0/3] Implement numa node notifier
From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 04:45:48 EST
v1 -> v2:
- Remove status_change_nid_normal and the code that
deals with it (David & Vlastimil)
- Remove slab_mem_offline_callback (David & Vlastimil)
- Change the order of canceling the notifiers
in {online,offline}_pages (Vlastimil)
- Fix up a couple of whitespaces (Jonathan Cameron)
- Add RBs-by
Memory notifier is a tool that allow consumers to get notified whenever
memory gets onlined or offlined in the system.
Currently, there are 10 consumers of that, but 5 out of those 10 consumers
are only interested in getting notifications when a numa node changes its
memory state.
That means going from memoryless to memory-aware of vice versa.
Which means that for every {online,offline}_pages operation they get
notified even though the numa node might not have changed its state.
While we are doing this, remove status_change_nid_normal, as the only
current user (slub) does not really need it.
This allows us to further simplify and clean up the code.
The first patch gets rid of status_change_nid_normal in slub.
The second patch implements a numa node notifier that does just that, and have
those consumers register in there, so they get notified only when they are
interested.
The third patch replaces 'status_change_nid{_normal}' fields within
memory_notify with a 'nid', as that is only what we need for memory
notifer and update the only user of it (page_ext).
Consumers that are only interested in numa node states change are:
- memory-tier
- slub
- cpuset
- hmat
- cxl
