try_offline_node() is pretty much broken right now:
- The node span is updated when onlining memory, not when adding it. We
ignore memory that was mever onlined. Bad.
- We touch possible garbage memmaps. The pfn_to_nid(pfn) can easily
trigger a kernel panic. Bad for memory that is offline but also bad
for subsection hotadd with ZONE_DEVICE, whereby the memmap of the first
PFN of a section might contain garbage.
- Sections belonging to mixed nodes are not properly considered.
As memory blocks might belong to multiple nodes, we would have to walk all
pageblocks (or at least subsections) within present sections. However,
we don't have a way to identify whether a memmap that is not online was
initialized (relevant for ZONE_DEVICE). This makes things more complicated.
Luckily, we can piggy pack on the node span and the nid stored in
memory blocks. Currently, the node span is grown when calling
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory, and shrunk when
removing memory, before calling try_offline_node(). Sysfs links are
created via link_mem_sections(), e.g., during boot or when adding memory.
If the node still spans memory or if any memory block belongs to the
nid, we don't set the node offline. As memory blocks that span multiple
nodes cannot get offlined, the nid stored in memory blocks is reliable
enough (for such online memory blocks, the node still spans the memory).
Introduce for_each_memory_block() to efficiently walk all memory blocks.
Note: We will soon stop shrinking the ZONE_DEVICE zone and the node span
when removing ZONE_DEVICE memory to fix similar issues (access of garbage
memmaps) - until we have a reliable way to identify whether these memmaps
were properly initialized. This implies later, that once a node had
ZONE_DEVICE memory, we won't be able to set a node offline -
which should be acceptable.
Since commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded
memory to zones until online") memory that is added is not assoziated
with a zone/node (memmap not initialized). The introducing
commit 60a5a19e7419 ("memory-hotplug: remove sysfs file of node") already
missed that we could have multiple nodes for a section and that the
zone/node span is updated when onlining pages, not when adding them.
I tested this by hotplugging two DIMMs to a memory-less and cpu-less NUMA
node. The node is properly onlined when adding the DIMMs. When removing
the DIMMs, the node is properly offlined.

v2 -> v3:
- Introduce and use for_each_memory_block(), which will run significantly
faster than walk_memory_blocks()
v1 -> v2:
- Drop sysfs handling, simplify, and add a comment
- Make sure to include last section fully
We stop shrinking the ZONE_DEVICE zone after the following patch:
[PATCH v6 04/10] mm/memory_hotplug: Don't access uninitialized memmaps
in shrink_zone_span()
This implies, the above note regarding ZONE_DEVICE on a node blocking a
node from getting offlined until we sorted out how to properly shrink
the ZONE_DEVICE zone.
This patch is especially important for:
[PATCH v6 05/10] mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones when offlining
memory
As the BUG fixed with this patch becomes now easier to observe when memory
is offlined (in contrast to when memory would never have been onlined
before).
As both patches are stable fixes and in next/master for a long time, we
should probably pull this patch in front of both and also backport this
patch at least to
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v4.13+
I have not checked yet if there are real blockers to do that. I guess not.
