Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

* include/linux/node.h - generic node definition
|
|
*
|
|
* This is mainly for topological representation. We define the
|
|
* basic 'struct node' here, which can be embedded in per-arch
|
|
* definitions of processors.
|
|
*
|
|
* Basic handling of the devices is done in drivers/base/node.c
|
|
* and system devices are handled in drivers/base/sys.c.
|
|
*
|
|
* Nodes are exported via driverfs in the class/node/devices/
|
|
* directory.
|
|
*
|
|
* Per-node interfaces can be implemented using a struct device_interface.
|
|
* See the following for how to do this:
|
|
* - drivers/base/intf.c
|
|
* - Documentation/driver-model/interface.txt
