These are a bunch of cleanups for online_pages()/offline_pages() and
related code, mostly getting rid of memory hole handling that is no longer
necessary. There is only a single walk_system_ram_range() call left in
offline_pages(), to make sure we don't have any memory holes. I had some
of these patches lying around for a longer time but didn't have time to
polish them.
In addition, the last patch marks all pageblocks of memory to get onlined
MIGRATE_ISOLATE, so pages that have just been exposed to the buddy cannot
get allocated before onlining is complete. Once heavy lifting is done,
the pageblocks are set to MIGRATE_MOVABLE, such that allocations are
possible.
I played with DIMMs and virtio-mem on x86-64 and didn't spot any surprises.
I verified that the numer of isolated pageblocks is correctly handled when
onlining/offlining.
v1 -> v2:
- "mm/memory_hotplug: enforce section granularity when onlining/offlining"
-- Extended the patch description regarding alignment requirements
-- Fixed a typo
- Squashed "mm/memory_hotplug: simplify offlining of pages in
offline_pages()" and "mm/memory_hotplug: simplify checking if all pages are
isolated in offline_pages()", resulting in "mm/memory_hotplug: simplify page
offlining"
- Added ACKs
