[PATCH 2/2 V2] slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing

From: Lai Jiangshan <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-24 09:42:16
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

SLUB only fucus on the nodes which has normal memory, so ignore the other
node's hot-adding and hot-removing.

Aka: if some memroy of a node(which has no onlined memory) is online,
but this new memory onlined is not normal memory(HIGH memory example),
we should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB.

And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memroy,
we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node.(current code delay it when
all of the memory is offlined)

so we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0.
marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here.

The same problem doesn't exsit in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3
for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates
kmem_list3 on alien nodes. SLUB only fucus on the nodes which has normal
memory, it don't tolerates alien kmem_cache_node, the patch makes
SLUB become self-compatible and avoid WARN and BUG in a rare condition.
