Subject[PATCH 4/4] hugetlb: add hugepages_node= command-line option
Date
From: Luiz capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>

The HugeTLB command-line option hugepages= allows a user to specify how
many huge pages should be allocated at boot. This option is needed because
it improves reliability when allocating 1G huge pages, which are better
allocated as early as possible due to fragmentation.

However, hugepages= has a limitation. On NUMA systems, hugepages= will
automatically distribute memory allocation equally among nodes. For
example, if you have a 2-node NUMA system and allocate 200 huge pages,
than hugepages= will try to allocate 100 huge pages from node0 and 100
from node1.

This is very unflexible, as it doesn't allow you to specify which nodes
the huge pages should be allocated from. For example, there are use-cases
where the user wants to specify that a 1GB huge page should be allocated
from node 2 or that 300 2MB huge pages should be allocated from node 0.

The hugepages_node= command-line option introduced by this commit allows
just that.

The syntax is:

hugepages_node=nid:nr_pages:size,...

For example, to allocate one 1GB page from node 2, you can do:

hugepages_node=2:1:1G

Or, to allocate 300 2MB huge pages from node 0 and 5 1GB huge pages from node 1:

hugepages_node=0:300:2M,1:5:1G

Also, please note the following:

- All the hugepages_node= option does is to set initial memory allocation
distribution among nodes. It doesn't do anything intrusive. All functions
and the array added by this commit are run onlt once at boot and discarded
thereafter

- This commit adds support only for the x86 architecture. Adding support for
other archs is welcome and should be simple, it's just a matter of porting
setup_hugepages_node()

- When an error is encountered while parsing, allocations are obeyed
up to the error and parsing is then aborted. This is simplest way to
deal with errors

- Mixing hugepages_node= and hugepages= options is not supported
