KVM: Don't pre-reserve xarray entries when storing empty/NULL attributesgrafted
Skip the xarray reservation loop when clearing all memory attributes, as
storing NULL only erases the entry and never needs to allocate, so no
reservation (and no cleanup of a failed one) is required in that case.

These systems have + multiple types of memory with varied performance + characteristics instead of plain NUMA systems where + the same kind of memory is found at varied distances. + Allowing page migration during reclaim enables these + systems to migrate pages from fast tiers to slow tiers + when the fast tier is under pressure. This migration + is performed before swap if an eligible numa node is + present in cpuset.mems for the cgroup (or if cpuset v1 + is being used). If cpusets.mems changes at runtime, it + may move data to a NUMA node that does not fall into the + cpuset of the new cpusets.mems, which might be construed + to violate the guarantees of cpusets. Shared memory, + such as libraries, owned by another cgroup may still be + demoted and result in memory use on a node not present + in cpusets.mem. This should not be enabled on systems + which need strict cpuset location guarantees. |
