This breaks offline for me.
Prior to this commit:
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory0# time echo 0 > online
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
After:
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory0# time echo 0 > online
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
real 2m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 1m25.035s
There's no way that block can be removed, it contains the kernel text,
so it should instantly fail - which it used to.
With commit 3aa2823fdf66 ("mm, memory_hotplug: remove timeout from
__offline_memory") also applied, it appears to just get stuck forever,
and I get lots of:
