There are two ways to set the online/offline state for a memory block:
echo 0|1 > online and echo online|online_kernel|online_movable|offline >
state.

The state attribute can online a memory block with extra data, the
"online type", where the online attribute uses a default online type of
ONLINE_KEEP, same as echo online > state.

Currently there is a state_mutex that provides consistency between the
memory block state and the underlying memory.

The problem is that this code does a lot of things that the common
device layer can do for us, such as the serialization of the
online/offline handlers using the device lock, setting the dev->offline
field, and calling kobject_uevent().

This patch refactors the online/offline code to allow the common
device_[online|offline] functions to be used.  The result is a simpler
and more common code path for the two state setting mechanisms.  It also
removes the state_mutex from the struct memory_block as the memory block
device lock provides the state consistency.

No functional change is intended by this patch.

Right now memory_dev_init() maintains the memory block pointer
between iterations of add_memory_section().  This is nasty.

This patch refactors add_memory_section() to become add_memory_block().
The refactoring pulls the section scanning out of memory_dev_init()
and simplifies the signature.

The path through add_memory_section() when the memory block already
exists uses flawed refcounting logic.  A get_device() is done on a
memory block using a pointer that might not be valid as we dropped
our previous reference and didn't obtain a new reference in the
proper way.

Lets stop pretending and just remove the get/put.  The
mem_sysfs_mutex, which we hold over the entire init loop now, will
prevent the memory blocks from disappearing from under us.

add_memory_section() is currently called from both boot time and run

add_memory_section().

This patch is the first step in breaking up the messy code sharing by

Update the sysfs memory code to create/delete files at the time of device
and subsystem registration.

The current code creates files in the root memory directory explicitly through
the use of init_* routines. The files for each memory block are created and
deleted explicitly using the mem_[create|delete]_simple_file macros.

This patch creates attribute groups for the memory root files and files in
each memory block directory so that they are created and deleted implicitly
at subsys and device register and unregister time.

As noted by Tang Chen, the last_online field in struct memory_block
introduced by commit 4960e05e (Driver core: Introduce offline/online
callbacks for memory blocks) is not really necessary, because
online_pages() restores the previous state if passed ONLINE_KEEP as
the last argument.  Therefore, remove that field along with the code
referring to it.

Introduce .offline() and .online() callbacks for memory_subsys
that will allow the generic device_offline() and device_online()
to be used with device objects representing memory blocks.  That,
in turn, allows the ACPI subsystem to use device_offline() to put
removable memory blocks offline, if possible, before removing
memory modules holding them.

The 'online' sysfs attribute of memory block devices will attempt to
put them offline if 0 is written to it and will attempt to apply the
previously used online type when onlining them (i.e. when 1 is
written to it).

Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also
become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in
most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86).  remove_memory_block()

We remove the memory like this:

 1. lock memory hotplug
 2. offline a memory block
 3. unlock memory hotplug
 4. repeat 1-3 to offline all memory blocks
 5. lock memory hotplug
 6. remove memory(TODO)
 7. unlock memory hotplug

All memory blocks must be offlined before removing memory.  But we don't
hold the lock in the whole operation.  So we should check whether all
memory blocks are offlined before step6.  Otherwise, kernel maybe
panicked.

Offlining a memory block and removing a memory device can be two
different operations.  Users can just offline some memory blocks without
removing the memory device.  For this purpose, the kernel has held
lock_memory_hotplug() in __offline_pages().  To reuse the code for
memory hot-remove, we repeat step 1-3 to offline all the memory blocks,
repeatedly lock and unlock memory hotplug, but not hold the memory
hotplug lock in the whole operation.

Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug.  This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore".  It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:

o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.

  Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
  "online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
  THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.

  Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
  to save/(reduce waste) memory.

  Memory capacity on Demand

o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
  "online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
  expected when we logic-online it.

  This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.

o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
  hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
  management).

(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)

Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.

Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

When calling remove_memory_block(), the function shows following message
at device_release().

"Device 'memory528' does not have a release() function, it is broken and
must be fixed."

The reason is memory_block's device struct does not have a release()
function.

So the patch registers memory_block_release() to the device's release()
function for suppressing the warning message.  Additionally, the patch
moves kfree(mem) into the release function since the release function is
prepared as a means to free a memory_block struct.

remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device.  But
even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it.  So the patch updates the
memory block's state and sends notification to userspace.

Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block.
If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail.  So we
should try to offline one memory block at a time.

Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state.  So there is no
need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

remove_memory() is called in two cases:
1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state
2. hot remove a memory device

In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification
that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling
remove_memory().  So user can notice memory block is changed.

But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the
notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling
remove_memory().  So user cannot notice memory block is changed.

For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare
as follows:
1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory.
2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's
    state and notifing the information.

The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
generated:

  # udevadm monitor
  # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
  ==> No event

When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header.  Therefore, for kdump it
is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
configuration changes (e.g.  for online/offline hotplug memory).

In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used.  This kernel
patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline".  Together with this
kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":

  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"

This moves the 'memory sysdev_class' over to a regular 'memory' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

mm: memory hotplug: Check if pages are correctly reserved on a per-section basis

It is expected that memory being brought online is PageReserved
similar to what happens when the page allocator is being brought up.
Memory is onlined in "memory blocks" which consist of one or more
sections. Unfortunately, the code that verifies PageReserved is
currently assuming that the memmap backing all these pages is virtually
contiguous which is only the case when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set.
As a result, memory hot-add is failing on those configurations with
the message;

kernel: section number XXX page number 256 not reserved, was it already online?

This patch updates the PageReserved check to lookup struct page once
per section to guarantee the correct struct page is being checked.

The check to ensure that pages of recently added memory sections are correctly
marked as reserved before trying to online the memory is broken.  The request
to online the memory fails with the following:

kernel: section number XXX page number 256 not reserved, was it already online?

This updates the page reservation checking to check the pages of each memory
section of the memory block being onlined individually.

On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most
recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means
memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to
memory_section_action.

This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook
in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB
region takes:

# time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
7.9s

This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or
remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes
the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail
part way through.

The same test to offline one region now takes:

# time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
0.67s

Over 11 times faster.

As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs
memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the
probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block.  Without
this patch the current code will only add a single memory section.  I think
the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory
block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through
the sysfs interfaces.

This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow
a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections.

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property.  The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.

The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.

This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr).  This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

Update the memory sysfs code such that each sysfs memory directory is now
considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per
memory block.  The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS
to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per
memory block (i.e. one sysfs directory per memory section).

For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple
memory sections they need only define their own memory_block_size_bytes()
routine.

Update the memory hotplug documentation to reflect the new behaviors of
memory blocks reflected in sysfs.
