[PATCH v5 00/10] mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before removing memory

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

This series fixes the access of uninitialized memmaps when shrinking
zones/nodes and when removing memory. Also, it contains all fixes for
crashes that can be triggered when removing certain namespace using
memunmap_pages() - ZONE_DEVICE, reported by Aneesh.

We stop trying to shrink ZONE_DEVICE, as it's buggy, fixing it would be
more involved (we don't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE as an indicator), and
shrinking is only of limited use (set_zone_contiguous() cannot detect
the ZONE_DEVICE as contiguous).

We continue shrinking !ZONE_DEVICE zones, however, I reduced the amount of
code to a minimum. Shrinking is especially necessary to keep
zone->contiguous set where possible, especially, on memory unplug of
DIMMs at zone boundaries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zones are now properly shrunk when offlining memory blocks or when
onlining failed. This allows to properly shrink zones on memory unplug
even if the separate memory blocks of a DIMM were onlined to different
zones or re-onlined to a different zone after offlining.

Example:

:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone  Movable
        spanned  0
        present  0
        managed  0
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/state
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/state
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone  Movable
        spanned  98304
        present  65536
        managed  65536
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone  Movable
        spanned  32768
        present  32768
        managed  32768
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone  Movable
        spanned  0
        present  0
        managed  0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tested this with DIMMs on x86. It sounded like Aneesh tested the
ZONE_DEVICE part :)

v4 -> v5:
- "mm/memory_hotplug: Don't access uninitialized memmaps in shrink_zone_span()"
-- Add more details why ZONE_DEVICE is special
- Include two patches from Aneesh
-- "mm/memunmap: Use the correct start and end pfn when removing pages
    from zone"
-- "mm/memmap_init: Update variable name in memmap_init_zone"

v3 -> v4:
- Drop "mm/memremap: Get rid of memmap_init_zone_device()"
-- As Alexander noticed, it was messy either way
- Drop "mm/memory_hotplug: Exit early in __remove_pages() on BUGs"
- Drop "mm: Exit early in set_zone_contiguous() if already contiguous"
- Drop "mm/memory_hotplug: Optimize zone shrinking code when checking for
  holes"
- Merged "mm/memory_hotplug: Remove pages from a zone before removing
  memory" and "mm/memory_hotplug: Remove zone parameter from
  __remove_pages()" into "mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones when offlining
  memory"
- Added "mm/memory_hotplug: Poison memmap in remove_pfn_range_from_zone()"
- Stop shrinking ZONE_DEVICE
- Reshuffle patches, moving all fixes to the front. Add Fixes: tags.
- Change subject/description of various patches
- Minor changes (too many to mention)
