That should not happen right now and I commented back when you introduced subsection support that I don’t want to have ZONE_DEVICE mixed with online pages in a section. Having memory block devices that partially span ZONE_DEVICE would be ... really weird. With something like pfn_active() - as discussed - we could at least make this check work - but I am not sure if we really want to go down that path. In the worst case, some MB of RAM are lost ... I guess this needs more thought.
