[patch 7/7, v7] NUMA Hotplug Emulator: Implement mem_hotplug/add_memory debugfs interface

From: shaohui . zheng
Date: Thu Dec 02 2010 - 01:37:37 EST


From: Shaohui Zheng <shaohui.zheng@xxxxxxxxx>

Add mem_hotplug/add_memory interface to support to memory hotplug emulation.
the reserved memory can be added into desired node with this interface.

Add a memory section(128M) to node 3(boots with mem=1024m)

echo 0x40000000,3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory

And more we make it friendly, it is possible to add memory to do

echo 3g > mem_hotplug/add_memory
echo 1024m,3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory

Another format suggested by Dave Hansen:

echo physical_address=0x40000000 numa_node=3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory

it is more explicit to show meaning of the parameters.

+4.4 Memory hotplug emulation
+------------
+With debugfs, it is possible to test memory hotplug with software method, we
+can add memory section to desired node with add_memory interface. It is a much
+more powerful interface than "probe" described in section 4.2.
+
+The add_memory interface is located at "mem_hotplug/add_memory" at the debugfs
+mount point.
