Hi,

We can not get the EBUSY from " echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryxxx/online", maybe, redirect the error ouput to /dev/null is suitable when calling offline_memory_expect_success():

# sh mem-on-off-test.sh -a
mem-on-off-test.sh: illegal option -- a
Test scope: 2% hotplug memory
online all hot-pluggable memory in offline state:
SKIPPED - no hot-pluggable memory in offline state
offline 2% hot-pluggable memory in online state
trying to offline 4 out of 192 memory block(s):
online->offline memory0

online all hot-pluggable memory in offline state:

Test with memory notifier error injection
# echo $?
0

Thanks!
