[RFC] proc: Add a new isolated /proc/pid/mempolicy type.

From: hezhongkun
Date: Mon Sep 26 2022 - 05:10:51 EST


From: Zhongkun He <hezhongkun.hzk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

/proc/pid/mempolicy can be used to check and adjust the userspace task's
mempolicy dynamically.In many case, the application and the control plane
are two separate systems. When the application is created, it doesn't know
how to use memory, and it doesn't care. The control plane will decide the
memory usage policy based on different reasons.In that case, we can
dynamically adjust the mempolicy using /proc/pid/mempolicy interface.

Format of input:
----------------
<mode>[=<flags>][:<nodelist>]

Example
-------
set mempolicy:
$ echo "interleave=static:0-3" > /proc/27036/mempolicy
$ cat /proc/27036/mempolicy
interleave=static:0-3
remove mempolicy:
+ $ echo "default" > /proc/27036/mempolicy

The following 6 mempolicy mode types:
"default" "prefer" "bind" "interleave" "local" "prefer (many)"

The supported mode flags are:
"static" "relative"

nodelist For example:0-3 or 0,1,2,3

+The following 6 mempolicy mode types are supported:
+"default" Default is converted to the NULL memory policy, any existing non-default policy
+ will simply be removed when "default" is specified.
+"prefer" The allocation should be attempted from the single node specified in the policy.
+"bind" Memory must come from the set of nodes specified by the policy.
+"interleave" Page allocations be interleaved across the nodes specified in the policy.
+"local" The memory is allocated on the node of the CPU that triggered the allocation.
+"prefer (many)" The allocation should be preferrably satisfied from the nodemask specified in the policy.
+
+The supported mode flags are:
+
+"static" A nonempty nodemask specifies physical node IDs.
+"relative" A nonempty nodemask specifies node IDs that are relative
+ to the set of node IDs allowed by the thread's current cpuset.
+
+nodelist For example: 0-3 or 0,1,2,3
+
+Please see: Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numa_memory_policy.rst for descriptions of memory policy.
