hugetlb: add per node hstate attributes
Add the per huge page size control/query attributes to the per node
sysdevs:
/sys/devices/system/node/node<ID>/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/
nr_hugepages - r/w
free_huge_pages - r/o
surplus_huge_pages - r/o
The patch attempts to re-use/share as much of the existing global hstate
attribute initialization and handling, and the "nodes_allowed" constraint
processing as possible.
Calling set_max_huge_pages() with no node indicates a change to global
hstate parameters. In this case, any non-default task mempolicy will be
used to generate the nodes_allowed mask. A valid node id indicates an
update to that node's hstate parameters, and the count argument specifies
the target count for the specified node. From this info, we compute the
target global count for the hstate and construct a nodes_allowed node mask
contain only the specified node.
Setting the node specific nr_hugepages via the per node attribute
effectively ignores any task mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
With this patch:
(me):ls /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB
./ ../ free_hugepages nr_hugepages surplus_hugepages
Starting from:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Surp: 0
vm.nr_hugepages = 0
Allocate 16 persistent huge pages on node 2:
(me):echo 16 >/sys/devices/system/node/node2/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
[Note that this is equivalent to:
numactl -m 2 hugeadmin --pool-pages-min 2M:+16
]
Yields:
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16
Node 2 HugePages_Free: 16
Node 2 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Surp: 0
vm.nr_hugepages = 16
Global controls work as expected--reduce pool to 8 persistent huge pages:
(me):echo 8 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 0 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 1 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Free: 8
Node 2 HugePages_Surp: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Free: 0
Node 3 HugePages_Surp: 0
