For in use hugetlb folio case, migrate_pages() is called. The hugetlb pool capacity won't be modified in that case. So I assume you're referring to the free hugetlb folio case? The Hugetlb pool capacity is reduced in that case. But if we don't do that, we might encounter uncorrectable memory error later which will be more severe? Will it be better to add a way to compensate the capacity? > In addition, discarding the entire 1G memory page only because of > corrected memory errors sounds very costly and kernel better not > doing under the hood.

Userspace can figure out the hugetlb folio pfn range by using `page-types -b huge -rlN` and then decide whether to soft offline the page according to it. But for GHES driver, I think it has to be done in the kernel.

The hugetlb pool > capacity won't be modified in that case. So I assume you're referring to the I don't think so. For in-use hugetlb folio case, after migrate_pages, kernel will dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio the src hugetlb folio. At this point refcount of src hugetlb folio should be zero already, and remove_hugetlb_folio will reduce the hugetlb pool capacity (both nr_hugepages and free_hugepages) accordingly. For the free hugetlb folio case, dissolving also happens. But CE on free pages should be very rare (since no one is accessing except patrol scrubber). One of my test cases in patch 2/3 validates my point: the test case MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE a mapped page and at the point soft offline succeeds, both nr_hugepages and nr_freepages are reduced by 1. > free hugetlb folio case? The Hugetlb pool capacity is reduced in that case. > But if we don't do that, we might encounter uncorrectable memory error later If your concern is more correctable error will develop into more severe uncorrectable, your concern is absolutely valid. There is a tradeoff between reliability vs performance (availability of hugetlb pages), but IMO should be decided by userspace. > which will be more severe?

What if we can't find any physically contiguous memory to compensate? (then hugetlb pool will still need to be reduced). If we treat "compensate" as an improvement to the overall soft offline process, it is something we can do in future and it is something orthogonal to this control API, right? I think if userspace explicitly tells kernel to soft offline, then they are also well-prepared for the corner cases above. > > > In addition, discarding the entire 1G memory page only because of > > corrected memory errors sounds very costly and kernel better not > > doing under the hood.

"soft_offline_enabled" is less optimal as it can't be extended to support something like "soft offline this PFN if something repeatedly requested soft offline this exact PFN x times". (although I don't think we need it). softoffline_corrected_errors is one char less, but if you insist, soft_offline_corrected_errors also works for me. > > Thanks. > . >

WDYT? Yes, as long as enable_soft_offline=1 is the default. Out of thought, I suppose the CE count and threshold can be retrieved by the GHES driver? I haven't checked. If so, maybe another way is to implement a per task CE threshold: add a new field.ce_thresholdto the tsak struct, add a function to prctl(2) for a user thread to specify a CE threshold, also a function to retrieve the firmware defined default CE threshold, and let soft_offline_page() check against the task->ce_threshold to decide whether to offline the page. If you want to apply the CE threshold to patrol scrub triggered soft offline, than you could define a global/system wide CE threshold. That said, this might be an overblown to what you need, I'm just letting it out there for the sake of brain storming. > >> Also, I am not comfortable with this being hugetlbfs specific.

Or, you could use /proc/sys/vm/enable_soft_offline, side by side with the existing 'memory_failure_early_kill' and 'memory_failure_recovery' switches. You could also make 'enable_soft_offline' a per process option, similar to 'PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY' in prctl(2).* * thanks, -jane > >> thanks, >> >> -jane >> >>> softoffline_corrected_errors is one char less, but if you insist, >>> soft_offline_corrected_errors also works for me. >>> >>>> Thanks. >>>> . >>>>

Correctable memory errors are very common on servers with large amount of memory, and are corrected by ECC, but with two pain points to users: 1. Correction usually happens on the fly and adds latency overhead 2. Not-fully-proved theory states excessive correctable memory errors can develop into uncorrectable memory error. Soft offline is kernel's additional solution for memory pages having (excessive) corrected memory errors. Impacted page is migrated to healthy page if it is in use, then the original page is discarded for any future use. The actual policy on whether (and when) to soft offline should be maintained by userspace, especially in case of HugeTLB hugepages. Soft-offline dissolves a hugepage, either in-use or free, into chunks of 4K pages, reducing HugeTLB pool capacity by 1 hugepage. If userspace has not acknowledged such behavior, it may be surprised when later mmap hugepages MAP_FAILED due to lack of hugepages. In addition, discarding the entire 1G memory page only because of corrected memory errors sounds very costly and kernel better not doing under the hood. But today there are at least 2 such cases: 1. GHES driver sees both GHES_SEV_CORRECTED and CPER_SEC_ERROR_THRESHOLD_EXCEEDED after parsing CPER. 2. RAS Correctable Errors Collector counts correctable errors per PFN and when the counter for a PFN reaches threshold In both cases, userspace has no control of the soft offline performed by kernel's memory failure recovery. This patch series give userspace the control of soft-offlining HugeTLB pages: kernel only soft offlines hugepage if userspace has opt-ed in for that specific hugepage size, and exposed to userspace by a new sysfs entry called softoffline_corrected_errors under /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-${size}kB directory: * When softoffline_corrected_errors=0, skip soft offlining for all hugepages of size ${size}kB. * When softoffline_corrected_errors=1, soft offline as before this patch series. By default softoffline_corrected_errors is 1. This patch set is based at commit a52b4f11a2e1 ("selftest mm/mseal read-only elf memory segment").
