[PATCH] mm/memory hotplug/unplug: Optimize zone->contiguous update when move pfn range
Posted by Tianyou Li 6 hours ago
When invoke move_pfn_range_to_zone, it will update the zone->contiguous by
checking the new zone's pfn range from the beginning to the end, regardless
the previous state of the old zone. When the zone's pfn range is large, the
cost of traversing the pfn range to update the zone->contiguous could be
significant.

Add fast paths to quickly detect cases where zone is definitely not
contiguous without scanning the new zone. The cases are: when the new range
did not overlap with previous range, the contiguous should be false; if the
new range adjacent with the previous range, just need to check the new
range; if the new added pages could not fill the hole of previous zone, the
contiguous should be false.

The following test cases of memory hotplug for a VM [1], tested in the
environment [2], show that this optimization can significantly reduce the
memory hotplug time [3].

+----------------+------+---------------+--------------+----------------+
|                | Size | Time (before) | Time (after) | Time Reduction |
|                +------+---------------+--------------+----------------+
| Memory Hotplug | 256G |      10s      |      3s      |       70%      |
|                +------+---------------+--------------+----------------+
|                | 512G |      33s      |      8s      |       76%      |
+----------------+------+---------------+--------------+----------------+

[1] Qemu commands to hotplug 512G memory for a VM:
    object_add memory-backend-ram,id=hotmem0,size=512G,share=on
    device_add virtio-mem-pci,id=vmem1,memdev=hotmem0,bus=port1
    qom-set vmem1 requested-size 512G

[2] Hardware     : Intel Icelake server
    Guest Kernel : v6.18-rc2
    Qemu         : v9.0.0

    Launch VM    :
    qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -cpu host \
    -drive file=./Centos10_cloud.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio \
    -drive file=./seed.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
    -smp 3,cores=3,threads=1,sockets=1,maxcpus=3 \
    -m 2G,slots=10,maxmem=2052472M \
    -device pcie-root-port,id=port1,bus=pcie.0,slot=1,multifunction=on \
    -device pcie-root-port,id=port2,bus=pcie.0,slot=2 \
    -nographic -machine q35 \
    -nic user,hostfwd=tcp::3000-:22

    Guest kernel auto-onlines newly added memory blocks:
    echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks

[3] The time from typing the QEMU commands in [1] to when the output of
    'grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo' on Guest reflects that all hotplugged
    memory is recognized.
