Description of problem: Numa aware ksm state in file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes is not affected by changing settings of Cluster (KSM per each NUMA nodes or KSM share NUMA nodes)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhvm-4.2.0-0.5.master.el7.noarch

How reproducible: 100 %


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set cluster with with NUMA aware KSM policy = KSM share NUMA nodes
2.Put active host to maintenance
3.Set cluster with with NUMA aware KSM policy = KSM per each NUMA nodes
4.Activate host

Actual results:
On each Host of the cluster file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes always contains 1

Expected results:
On each Host of the cluster file /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes contains 0

Additional info: it is regression from 4.1

Comment 6 RHV bug bot 2018-04-11 16:56:56 UTC
INFO: Bug status wasn't changed from MODIFIED to ON_QA due to the following reason:

[Tag 'ovirt-engine-4.1.11.1' doesn't contain patch 'https://gerrit.ovirt.org/85336']
gitweb: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/ovirt-engine-4.1.11.1

For more info please contact: rhv-devops

Comment 7 Andrej Krejcir 2018-04-12 08:02:02 UTC
The patch on the 4.1 branch is a combination of both patches from master.

The tag 'ovirt-engine-4.1.11.1' contains the 4.1 patch, moving to ON_QA.

Comment 8 Polina 2018-04-17 11:07:16 UTC
The bug is verified on rhv-release-4.1.11-1-001.noarch.

The steps for reproducing:

1. Choose cluster/Edit/Optimization tab. Enable KSM
2. Mode 'Share memory pages across all available memory' is set. 
   Result: on each active host cat sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes = 1
3. Put active host in maintenance, change on cluster KSM mode to 'Share memory pages inside NUMA nodes'. Activate host
   Result: on each active host cat sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes = 0.
4. Put active host in maintenance, change on cluster KSM mode to 'Share memory pages across all available memory'. Activate host
   Result: on each active host cat sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes = 1.
