[PATCH v2 0/3] powerpc/mm: movable hotplug memory nodes

Show all headers | View raw

These changes enable onlining memory into ZONE_MOVABLE on power, and the 
creation of discrete nodes of movable memory.

We provide a way to describe the extents and numa associativity of such 
a node in the device tree, yet still defer the memory addition to take 
place post-boot through hotplug.

In v1, this patchset introduced a new dt compatible id to explicitly 
create a memoryless node at boot. Here, things have been simplified to 
be applicable regardless of the status of node hotplug on power. We 
still intend to enable hotadding a pgdat, but that's now untangled as a 
separate topic.

v2:
* Use the "status" property of standard dt memory nodes instead of 
  introducing a new "ibm,hotplug-aperture" compatible id.

* Remove the patch which explicitly creates a memoryless node. This set 
  no longer has any bearing on whether the pgdat is created at boot or 
  at the time of memory addition.

v1:
* http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470680843-28702-1-git-send-email-arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com

  drivers/of: recognize status property of dt memory nodes
  powerpc/mm: allow memory hotplug into a memoryless node
  mm: enable CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE on powerpc
