mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes.

But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that.

The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management Patch series "memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT", v4. We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory devices. Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into memory types, then put into memory tiers. To describe the performance of a memory type, abstract distance is defined. Which is in direct proportion to the memory latency and inversely proportional to the memory bandwidth. To keep the code as simple as possible, fixed abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to describe slow memory such as Optane DCPMM. To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a algorithm implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general abstract distance calculation interface in dax/kmem driver. So, dax/kmem can support HBM (high bandwidth memory) in addition to the original Optane DCPMM. This patch (of 4): The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as ACPI HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc. While it may be used by various code which hot-add memory node, such as dax/kmem etc. To decouple the algorithm users and the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms management mechanism is implemented in this patch. It provides interface for the providers to register the implementation, and interface for the users. Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating abstract distance for different memory nodes. The preference of algorithm implementations can be specified via priority (notifier_block.priority).

mm/demotion: demote pages according to allocation fallback order Currently, a higher tier node can only be demoted to selected nodes on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path. This strict demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space). This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that currently. This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets for a memory tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified to utilize this allowed node mask as the fallback allocation mask.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly. Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI HMAT is implemented. The basic idea is as follows. The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded as the base line. Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM. Then, the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes. The functions to record the read/write latency/bandwidth of the default DRAM nodes and calculate abstract distance according to read/write latency/bandwidth ratio will be used by CXL CDAT (Coherent Device Attribute Table) and other memory device drivers.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly. Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management Patch series "memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT", v4. We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory devices. Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into memory types, then put into memory tiers. To describe the performance of a memory type, abstract distance is defined. Which is in direct proportion to the memory latency and inversely proportional to the memory bandwidth. To keep the code as simple as possible, fixed abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to describe slow memory such as Optane DCPMM. To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a algorithm implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general abstract distance calculation interface in dax/kmem driver. So, dax/kmem can support HBM (high bandwidth memory) in addition to the original Optane DCPMM. This patch (of 4): The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as ACPI HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc. While it may be used by various code which hot-add memory node, such as dax/kmem etc. To decouple the algorithm users and the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms management mechanism is implemented in this patch. It provides interface for the providers to register the implementation, and interface for the users. Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating abstract distance for different memory nodes. The preference of algorithm implementations can be specified via priority (notifier_block.priority).

acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI HMAT is implemented. The basic idea is as follows. The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded as the base line. Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM. Then, the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes. The functions to record the read/write latency/bandwidth of the default DRAM nodes and calculate abstract distance according to read/write latency/bandwidth ratio will be used by CXL CDAT (Coherent Device Attribute Table) and other memory device drivers.

base/node / acpi: Change 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' Dan Williams suggested changing the struct 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' [1]. The struct is a container of r/w-latency and r/w-bandwidth numbers. Moving forward, this container will also be used by CXL to store the performance characteristics of each link hop in the PCIE/CXL topology. So, where node_hmem_attrs is just the access parameters of a memory-node, access_coordinates applies more broadly to hardware topology characteristics. The observation is that seemed like an exercise in having the application identify "where" it falls on a spectrum of bandwidth and latency needs. For the tuple of read/write-latency and read/write-bandwidth, "coordinates" is not a perfect fit. Sometimes it is just conveying values in isolation and not a "location" relative to other performance points, but in the end this data is used to identify the performance operation point of a given memory-node.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes.

The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that.

The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier.

The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier.

Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly. Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

mm/demotion: print demotion targets Currently, when a demotion occurs, it will prioritize selecting a node from the preferred targets as the destination node for the demotion. If the preferred node does not meet the requirements, it will try from all the lower memory tier nodes until it finds a suitable demotion destination node or ultimately fails. However, the demotion target information isn't exposed to the users, especially the preferred target information, which relies on more factors. This makes it hard for users to understand the exact demotion behavior. Rather than having a new sysfs interface to expose this information, printing directly to kernel messages, just like the current page allocation fallback order does. A dmesg example with this patch is as follows: [ 0.704860] Demotion targets for Node 0: null [ 0.705456] Demotion targets for Node 1: null // node 2 is onlined [ 32.259775] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2 [ 32.261290] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 2, fallback: 2 [ 32.262726] Demotion targets for Node 2: null // node 3 is onlined [ 42.448809] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-3 [ 42.450704] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-3 [ 42.452556] Demotion targets for Node 2: perferred: 3, fallback: 3 [ 42.454136] Demotion targets for Node 3: null // node 4 is onlined [ 52.676833] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-4 [ 52.678735] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-4 [ 52.680493] Demotion targets for Node 2: perferred: 4, fallback: 3-4 [ 52.682154] Demotion targets for Node 3: null [ 52.683405] Demotion targets for Node 4: null // node 5 is onlined [ 62.931902] Demotion targets for Node 0: perferred: 2, fallback: 2-5 [ 62.938266] Demotion targets for Node 1: perferred: 5, fallback: 2-5 [ 62.943515] Demotion targets for Node 2: perferred: 4, fallback: 3-4 [ 62.947471] Demotion targets for Node 3: null [ 62.949908] Demotion targets for Node 4: null [ 62.952137] Demotion targets for Node 5: perferred: 3, fallback: 3-4 Regarding this requirement, we have previously discussed [1]. The initial proposal involved introducing a new sysfs interface. However, due to concerns about potential changes and compatibility issues with the interface in the future, a consensus was not reached with the community. Therefore, this time, we are directly printing out the information.

This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that currently. This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets for a memory tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified to utilize this allowed node mask as the fallback allocation mask.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes.

The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier.

The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that.

The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

base/node / acpi: Change 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' Dan Williams suggested changing the struct 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' [1]. The struct is a container of r/w-latency and r/w-bandwidth numbers. Moving forward, this container will also be used by CXL to store the performance characteristics of each link hop in the PCIE/CXL topology. So, where node_hmem_attrs is just the access parameters of a memory-node, access_coordinates applies more broadly to hardware topology characteristics. The observation is that seemed like an exercise in having the application identify "where" it falls on a spectrum of bandwidth and latency needs. For the tuple of read/write-latency and read/write-bandwidth, "coordinates" is not a perfect fit. Sometimes it is just conveying values in isolation and not a "location" relative to other performance points, but in the end this data is used to identify the performance operation point of a given memory-node.

base/node / acpi: Change 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' Dan Williams suggested changing the struct 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' [1]. The struct is a container of r/w-latency and r/w-bandwidth numbers. Moving forward, this container will also be used by CXL to store the performance characteristics of each link hop in the PCIE/CXL topology. So, where node_hmem_attrs is just the access parameters of a memory-node, access_coordinates applies more broadly to hardware topology characteristics. The observation is that seemed like an exercise in having the application identify "where" it falls on a spectrum of bandwidth and latency needs. For the tuple of read/write-latency and read/write-bandwidth, "coordinates" is not a perfect fit. Sometimes it is just conveying values in isolation and not a "location" relative to other performance points, but in the end this data is used to identify the performance operation point of a given memory-node.

acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI HMAT is implemented. The basic idea is as follows. The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded as the base line. Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM. Then, the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes. The functions to record the read/write latency/bandwidth of the default DRAM nodes and calculate abstract distance according to read/write latency/bandwidth ratio will be used by CXL CDAT (Coherent Device Attribute Table) and other memory device drivers. So, they are put in memory-tiers.c.

memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management Patch series "memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT", v4. We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory devices. Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into memory types, then put into memory tiers. To describe the performance of a memory type, abstract distance is defined. Which is in direct proportion to the memory latency and inversely proportional to the memory bandwidth. To keep the code as simple as possible, fixed abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to describe slow memory such as Optane DCPMM. To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a algorithm implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general abstract distance calculation interface in dax/kmem driver. So, dax/kmem can support HBM (high bandwidth memory) in addition to the original Optane DCPMM. This patch (of 4): The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as ACPI HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc. While it may be used by various code which hot-add memory node, such as dax/kmem etc. To decouple the algorithm users and the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms management mechanism is implemented in this patch. It provides interface for the providers to register the implementation, and interface for the users. Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating abstract distance for different memory nodes. The preference of algorithm implementations can be specified via priority (notifier_block.priority).

mm/demotion: add support for explicit memory tiers Patch series "mm/demotion: Memory tiers and demotion", v15. The current kernel has the basic memory tiering support: Inactive pages on a higher tier NUMA node can be migrated (demoted) to a lower tier NUMA node to make room for new allocations on the higher tier NUMA node. Frequently accessed pages on a lower tier NUMA node can be migrated (promoted) to a higher tier NUMA node to improve the performance. In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series address the above by defining memory tiers explicitly. Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.

In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy tier-by-tier by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases: * The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) and that should be put into a higher tier. * The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM (e.g. GPU memory) devices, these memory-only HBM NUMA nodes should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. * Also because the current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier, when a CPU is hot-added (or hot-removed) and triggers a memory node from CPU-less into a CPU node (or vice versa), the memory tier hierarchy gets changed, even though no memory node is added or removed. This can make the tier hierarchy unstable and make it difficult to support tier-based memory accounting. * A higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), and has resulted in the feature request for an interface to override the system-wide, per-node demotion order from the userspace. This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that. This patch series make the creation of memory tiers explicit under the control of device driver. Memory Tier Initialization ========================== Linux kernel presents memory devices as NUMA nodes and each memory device is of a specific type. The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. By default, all memory nodes are assigned to the default tier with abstract distance 512. A device driver can move its memory nodes from the default tier. For example, PMEM can move its memory nodes below the default tier, whereas GPU can move its memory nodes above the default tier. The kernel initialization code makes the decision on which exact tier a memory node should be assigned to based on the requests from the device drivers as well as the memory device hardware information provided by the firmware. Hot-adding/removing CPUs doesn't affect memory tier hierarchy. This patch (of 10): In the current kernel, memory tiers are defined implicitly via a demotion path relationship between NUMA nodes, which is created during the kernel initialization and updated when a NUMA node is hot-added or hot-removed. The current implementation puts all nodes with CPU into the highest tier, and builds the tier hierarchy by establishing the per-node demotion targets based on the distances between nodes. This current memory tier kernel implementation needs to be improved for several important use cases, The current tier initialization code always initializes each memory-only NUMA node into a lower tier. But a memory-only NUMA node may have a high performance memory device (e.g. a DRAM-backed memory-only node on a virtual machine) that should be put into a higher tier. The current tier hierarchy always puts CPU nodes into the top tier. But on a system with HBM or GPU devices, the memory-only NUMA nodes mapping these devices should be in the top tier, and DRAM nodes with CPUs are better to be placed into the next lower tier. With current kernel higher tier node can only be demoted to nodes with shortest distance on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path, not any other node from any lower tier. This strict, demotion order does not work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the preferred demotion node is out of space), This demotion order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that.

The memory type of a device is represented by its abstract distance. A memory tier corresponds to a range of abstract distance. This allows for classifying memory devices with a specific performance range into a memory tier. This patch configures the range/chunk size to be 128. The default DRAM abstract distance is 512. We can have 4 memory tiers below the default DRAM with abstract distance range 0 - 127, 127 - 255, 256- 383, 384 - 511. Faster memory devices can be placed in these faster(higher) memory tiers. Slower memory devices like persistent memory will have abstract distance higher than the default DRAM level.
