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

In the 1st case, we should also change memory block's state, and notify
the userspace that the memory block's state is changed after offlining
pages.

So rename remove_memory() to offline_memory()/offline_pages(). And in
the 1st case, offline_memory() will be used. The function
offline_memory()
is not implemented. In the 2nd case, offline_pages() will be used.


But this time there is not a function associated with add_memory.


To associate with add_memory() later, we renamed it.

Then, you introduced bisect breakage. It is definitely unacceptable.

What is "bisect breakage" meaning?

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu


NAK.
