Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: mark pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE while onlining memory
Currently, it can happen that pages are allocated (and freed) via the
buddy before we finished basic memory onlining.
For example, pages are exposed to the buddy and can be allocated before we
actually mark the sections online. Allocated pages could suddenly fail
pfn_to_online_page() checks. We had similar issues with pcp handling,
when pages are allocated+freed before we reach zone_pcp_update() in
online_pages() [1].
Instead, mark all pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE, such that allocations are
impossible. Once done with the heavy lifting, use
undo_isolate_page_range() to move the pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE
freelist, marking them ready for allocation. Similar to offline_pages(),
we have to manually adjust zone->nr_isolate_pageblock.
