+Locking Internals
+=================
+
+When adding/removing memory that uses memory block devices (i.e. ordinary RAM),
+the device_hotplug_lock should be held to:
+
+- synchronize against online/offline requests (e.g. via sysfs). This way, memory
+  block devices can only be accessed (.online/.state attributes) by user
+  space once memory has been fully added. And when removing memory, we
+  know nobody is in critical sections.
+- synchronize against CPU hotplug and similar (e.g. relevant for ACPI and PPC)
+
+Especially, there is a possible lock inversion that is avoided using
+device_hotplug_lock when adding memory and user space tries to online that
+memory faster than expected:
+
+- device_online() will first take the device_lock(), followed by
+  mem_hotplug_lock
+- add_memory_resource() will first take the mem_hotplug_lock, followed by
+  the device_lock() (while creating the devices, during bus_add_device()).
+
+As the device is visible to user space before taking the device_lock(), this
+can result in a lock inversion.
+
+onlining/offlining of memory should be done via device_online()/
+device_offline() - to make sure it is properly synchronized to actions
+via sysfs. Holding device_hotplug_lock is advised (to e.g. protect online_type)
+
+When adding/removing/onlining/offlining memory or adding/removing
+heterogeneous/device memory, we should always hold the mem_hotplug_lock in
+write mode to serialise memory hotplug (e.g. access to global/zone
+variables).
+
+In addition, mem_hotplug_lock (in contrast to device_hotplug_lock) in read
+mode allows for a quite efficient get_online_mems/put_online_mems
+implementation, so code accessing memory can protect from that memory
+vanishing.

 Early system initialization cannot use "normal" memory management
 simply because it is not set up yet. But there is still need to
 allocate memory for various data structures, for instance for the
-physical page allocator. To address this, a specialized allocator
-called the :ref:`Boot Memory Allocator <bootmem>`, or bootmem, was
-introduced. Several years later PowerPC developers added a "Logical
-Memory Blocks" allocator, which was later adopted by other
-architectures and renamed to :ref:`memblock <memblock>`. There is also

-The selection of the early allocator is done using

-configuration options. These options are enabled or disabled

+A specialized allocator called ``memblock`` performs the
+boot time memory management. The architecture specific initialization
+must set it up in :c:func:`setup_arch` and tear it down in
+:c:func:`mem_init` functions.
 
 Once the early memory management is available it offers a variety of
 functions and macros for memory allocations. The allocation request
 may be directed to the first (and probably the only) node or to a
 particular node in a NUMA system. There are API variants that panic
-when an allocation fails and those that don't. And more recent and
-advanced memblock even allows controlling its own behaviour.
