[PATCH v2 0/7] xen/page_alloc: Add NUMA-node specific memory claims
Posted by Bernhard Kaindl 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Xen supports claiming an amount of memory ahead of allocating it to
ensure that the memory for the domain is available for allocation.

On NUMA hosts, the same assurance is needed on a per-NUMA-node basis
to ensure optimal placement of domain memory on the correct NUMA node:

Add per-NUMA-node claims and add a new Hypercall to claim memory for
a domain using XEN_DOMCTL_claim_memory and xc_domain_claim_memory().

As we will implement multi-node claims as well, we updated the design
to be flexible for multi-node claims, so that a 2nd series can build
upon it without changing the hypercall API.

Bernhard Kaindl (6):
  xen/page_alloc: Simplify domain_adjust_tot_pages for future changes
  xen: New API to claim memory for a domain using XEN_DOMCTL_claim_memory

Alejandro Vallejo (1):
  xen/page_alloc: Remove `claim` from domain_set_outstanding_pages()

Alejandro Vallejo and Bernhard Kaindl (5):
  xen/page_alloc: Add static per-NUMA-node counts of free pages
  xen: Add node argument to
    domain_{adjust_tot_pages,set_outstanding_pages}()
  xen/page_alloc.c: Create per-node outstanding claims
  xen/page_alloc: Check per-node claims in alloc_heap_pages()

Having looked at only patch 1 so far, it already becomes clear that revision
information is lacking here. This is more important than usual for this series
because (a) a patch with a pretty similar title as patch 1 here has was
submitted by (and meanwhile committed for) Alejandro and (b) you picked up
earlier work by him. In fact I first thought you lost his S-o-b on patch 1.
That would have been easily clarified by indicating in the patch that it is
new in v2.
