Re: [PATCH v3] mm: add build-time option for hotplug memory default online type

+	  Default memory type for driver managed hotplug memory.

We should call it "hotplugged memory" consistently, which it is from a pure core-mm perspective ("add memory").

"Driver managed" reminds too much about add_memory_driver_managed(), which is only one case. Maybe just drop the "e.g., page tables" from the examples below.

+
  	  This option sets the default policy setting for memory hotplug
  	  onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks) which
  	  determines what happens to newly added memory regions. Policy setting
  	  can always be changed at runtime.
+
+	  The default is 'offline'.
+
+	  Select offline to defer onlining to drivers and user policy.
+	  Select auto to let the kernel choose what zones to utilize.
+	  Select online_kernel to generally allow kernel usage of this memory.
+	  Select online_movable to generally disallow kernel usage of this memory.
+
+	  Example kernel usage would be page structs and page tables.
+

  	  See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst for more information.
- Say Y here if you want all hot-plugged memory blocks to appear in
-	  'online' state by default.
-	  Say N here if you want the default policy to keep all hot-plugged
-	  memory blocks in 'offline' state.

What would be nice is if we could use the symbols from Kconfig, to then only do

mhp_default_online_type = CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE;

But as far as I know, that's not possible.


Thanks!
