PATCH v8 1/1 Fix hugetlb pool allocation with empty nodes

Fix hugetlb pool allocation with empty nodes

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory and for exporting a node_memory_map indicating which nodes have memory. Since mempolicy.c already has a number of functions which support interleaving, create a mempolicy when we invoke alloc_fresh_huge_page() that specifies interleaving across all the nodes in node_memory_map, rather than custom interleaving code in hugetlb.c. This requires adding some dummy functions, and some declarations, in mempolicy.h to compile with NUMA or !NUMA.

Compile tested on x86, x86_64 and ppc64. Run tested on 4-node x86-64 (no memoryless nodes), non-NUMA x86 and 4-node ppc64 (2 memoryless nodes).

Depends on Christoph's memoryless node patch stack to guarantee THISNODE allocations stay on the requested node.

PATCH 2/3 hugetlb: numafy several functions

In reply to Nishanth Aravamudan

Add node-parameterized helpers for dequeue_huge_page, alloc_fresh_huge_page and try_to_free_low. Also have update_and_free_page() take a nid parameter. This is necessary to add a per-node sysfs attribute to specify the number of hugepages on that node.

PATCH 3/3 hugetlb: add per-node nr_hugepages sysfs attribute

Allow specifying the number of hugepages to allocate on a particular node. Our current global sysctl will try its best to put hugepages equally on each node, but htat may not always be desired. This allows the admin to control the layout of hugepage allocation at a finer level (while not breaking the existing interface). Add callbacks in the sysfs node registration and unregistration functions into hugetlb to add the nr_hugepages attribute, which is a no-op if !NUMA or !HUGETLB.
