From 31bc3858ea3ebcc3157b3f5f0e624c5962f5a7a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vitaly Kuznetsov Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:56:48 -0700 Subject: memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev rules like: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online" to make this happen automatically. This is not a great solution for virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer as it will probably require to allocate some memory. Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online" which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as they're added. The default is "offline".
