[PATCH] remove empty node at boot time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove empty node -- a node which containes no cpu, no memory (and no I/O).
for ia64.

This patch online nodes which has available resouces and avoid onlining 
nodes which has only possible resouces.

SRAT describes possible resources, cpu and memory.  It also shows proximity
domain, pxm. Each numa node is created according to pxm.

Current ia64 SRAT parser onlining node when new pxm is found. But sometimes
pxm just includes 'possible' resources, doesn't includes available resources.
Such pxms will create an empty node.

When an empty node is onlined, it allocates a pgdat for an empty node.

Now, fundamental codes for node-hot-plug are ready in -mm. We can add
cpu and memory dynamically to the created new node. (memory-less-node hotplug is
not ready. But I don't know whether there are demands for it now.)
Then, we can remove empty nodes, which just includes possible resource.

And, I'm now considering allocating new pgdat on-node. Empty nodes are
obstacles to do that.

TBD: I/O only node detections scheme should be fixed (if necessary).
     Does anyone have a suggestion ?
