Subject: mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context
Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.
Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:
Early memory node ranges
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]
In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs:
$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones
The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the
node1 and node2's directory.
This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later,
one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the
system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is
raised:

---[ end trace 562fd6c109cd0fb2 ]---
This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.
The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the
range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is
registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.
There are 2 issues here:
a. The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple
links
b. The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
panic.
To address a. register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system
state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug
operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series.
The patch 3 is addressing the point b.
This patch (of 3):
The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due
to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.
Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.
There is no functional change introduced by this patch
