This issue was first discovered by Andy Whitcroft: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/451 I had sent patches based on Andy's analysis that did not affect the users of the kernel hot-add memory APIs: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/2/662 This patch puts the burden where it needs to be and can address the issue for all clients.
