      powerpc: Make the CMM memory hotplug aware · 14b8a76b
      Robert Jennings authored
      The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages
      over time that are not migratable.  On a long running system this can
      severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug
      memory remove operation.
      
      This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier.
      The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in
      the range specified.  This is used to determine if all of the used pages
      in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier
      chain).  The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be
      removed.  The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be
      called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations
      that fail due to other handlers.
      
      CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and
      resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to
      adjust.

      mm: Add notifier in pageblock isolation for balloon drivers · 925cc71e
      Robert Jennings authored
      Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
      movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
      
      Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
      pageblock is isolated.  Currently, if the migrate type is not
      MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
      for that page range to fail.
      
      Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
      MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
      and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
      entity) using a notifier chain.  If all of the non-movable pages are owned
      by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
      and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().
