  Compute the numa information for a virtio_pmem device from the memory
range of the device. Previously, the target_node was always 0 since
the ndr_desc.target_node field was never explicitly set. The code for
computing the numa node is taken from cxl_pmem_region_probe in
drivers/cxl/pmem.c.

As this memory later gets hotplugged using "devm_memremap_pages". I don't
see if 'target_node' is used for fsdax case?

It seems to me "target_node" is used mainly for volatile range above
persistent memory ( e.g kmem driver?).

Thanks,

I am not sure if 'target_node' is used in the fsdax case, but it is
indeed used by the devdax/kmem driver when hotplugging the memory (see
'dev_dax_kmem_probe' and '__dax_pmem_probe').

Michael

Yes, but not currently for FS_DAX iiuc.

Enables the hot-plugging of virtio-pmem memory into correct memory
nodes. Does not look like it effect the FS_DAX.

The target_node is only used by the dax_kmem driver. In the FSDAX case
the memory (persistent or otherwise) is mapped behind a block-device.
That block-device has affinity to a CPU initiator, but that memory does
not itself have any NUMA affinity or identity as a target.

So:

block-device NUMA node == closest CPU initiator node to the device

dax-device target node == memory only NUMA node target, after onlining

I don't have much expertise on this driver, but with the help of this
patch I was able to get memory tiering [1] emulation going on qemu. As
far as I know there is no alternative to this emulation, and so I
would love to see this or equivalent merged, if possible.

This is what I have going to get memory tiering emulation:

In qemu, added these configs:
      -object memory-backend-file,id=m4,share=on,mem-path="$path_to_virtio_pmem_file",size=2G
\
      -smp 2,sockets=2,maxcpus=2  \
      -numa node,nodeid=0,memdev=m0 \
      -numa node,nodeid=1,memdev=m1 \
      -numa node,nodeid=2,memdev=m2,initiator=0 \
      -numa node,nodeid=3,initiator=0 \
      -device virtio-pmem-pci,memdev=m4,id=nvdimm1 \

On boot, ran these commands:
    ndctl_static create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -f 1&> /dev/null
    echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
    echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
    for i in `ls /sys/devices/system/memory/`; do
      state=$(cat "/sys/devices/system/memory/$i/state" 2&>/dev/null)
      if [ "$state" == "offline" ]; then
        echo online_movable > "/sys/devices/system/memory/$i/state"
      fi
    done

Without this CL, I see the memory onlined in node 0 always, and is not
a separate memory tier. With this CL and qemu configs, the memory is
onlined in node 3 and is set as a separate memory tier, which enables
qemu-based development:

==> /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tier22/nodelist <==
3
==> /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tier4/nodelist <==
0-2

AFAIK there is no alternative to enabling memory tiering emulation in
qemu, and would love to see this or equivalent merged, if possible.

Nice to see the way to handle the virtio-pmem device memory through kmem driver
and online the corresponding memory blocks to 'zone_movable'.

This also opens way to use this memory range directly irrespective of attached
block device. Of course there won't be any persistent data guarantee. But good
way to simulate memory tiering inside guest as demonstrated below.

Just wondering if Qemu vNVDIMM device can also achieve this?

In any case, this patch is useful, So,

I spent a few minutes on this. Please note I'm really not familiar
with these drivers, but as far as I can tell the qemu vNVDIMM device
has the same problem and needs a similar fix to this to what Michael
did here. What I did with vNVDIMM qemu device:

- Added these qemu configs:
      -object memory-backend-file,id=m4,share=on,mem-path=./hello,size=2G,readonly=off
\
      -device nvdimm,id=nvdimm1,memdev=m4,unarmed=off \

- Ran the same commands in my previous email (they seem to apply to
the vNVDIMM device without modification):
    ndctl_static create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -f 1&> /dev/null
    echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/device_dax/unbind
    echo dax0.0 > /sys/bus/dax/drivers/kmem/new_id
    for i in `ls /sys/devices/system/memory/`; do
      state=$(cat "/sys/devices/system/memory/$i/state" 2&>/dev/null)
      if [ "$state" == "offline" ]; then
        echo online_movable > "/sys/devices/system/memory/$i/state"
      fi
    done

I see the memory from the vNVDIMM device get onlined on node0, and is
not detected as a separate memory tier. I suspect that driver needs a
similar fix to this one.

Thanks for trying. It seems vNVDIMM device already has an option to provide
the target node[1].
