If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.
We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

This patch contains online_page_callback and apropriate functions for
registering/unregistering online page callbacks. It allows to do some
machine specific tasks during online page stage which is required to
implement memory hotplug in virtual machines. Currently this patch is
required by latest memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver patch
which will be posted soon.
Additionally, originial online_page() function was splited into
following functions doing "atomic" operations:
- __online_page_set_limits() - set new limits for memory management code,
- __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages,
- __online_page_free() - free page to allocator.
It was done to:
- not duplicate existing code,
- ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface,
- avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code
(by design) is developed in many places.

PG_buddy can be converted to _mapcount == -2. So the PG_compound_lock can
be added to page->flags without overflowing (because of the sparse section
bits increasing) with CONFIG_X86_PAE=y and CONFIG_X86_PAT=y. This also
has to move the memory hotplug code from _mapcount to lru.next to avoid
any risk of clashes. We can't use lru.next for PG_buddy removal, but
memory hotplug can use lru.next even more easily than the mapcount
instead.

Now, memory_hotplug_(un)lock() is used for add/remove/offline pages
for avoiding races with hibernation. But this should be held in
online_pages(), too. It seems asymmetric.
There are cases where one has to avoid a race with memory hotplug
notifier and his own local code, and hotplug v.s. hotplug.
This will add a generic solution for avoiding races. In other view,
having lock here has no big impacts. online pages is tend to be
done by udev script at el against each memory section one by one.
Then, it's better to have lock here, too.

Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not. But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.
Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of
check, too.
This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2
checks to use the same logic. Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses
the same logic. No changes in the hotremove logic itself.
TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit,
calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove
sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.

Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which
doesn't have onlined local memory.
The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either
in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online. For a
numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized
at present. As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by
CPUs within this node will fail. In fact, an out-of-memory error is
triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online.
This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the
memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory
of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range. For doing so,
flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for
memory hotplug.
But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware
area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM. This patch makes the
check strict to find out busy "System RAM".
Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through
ppc64's lmb informaton. Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this
patch makes no difference in behavior, finally.
And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function.
Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used
for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic
to scan physical memory range.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on
POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block
size. A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of
memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially
expensive operation. This patch adds a file called "removable" to the
memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent. In this patch, a memory
block is considered removable if;
o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks
o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type
On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will
never be considered removable. Without this patch, the user-agent is
forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.
Sample output of the sysfs files:
./memory/memory0/removable: 0
./memory/memory1/removable: 0
./memory/memory2/removable: 0

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to
detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is
available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was
made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a
network driver to have such a dependency.
Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc
implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for
memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by
bootmem. ex) memmap, etc.
To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to
circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free
memmaps.
Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information
of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is
removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be
solved.
1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other
section by bootmem, it should/can be free.
2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the
same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be
logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against
page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will
be removed physically soon.
3) When removing section has other section's memmap,
kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed
before it for user. (Not implemented yet)
4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip
memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()).
Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is
just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be
removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch.
(Not implemented yet.)
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags,
and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of
bootmem doesn't use them too.
This patch:
This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can
distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is
basis for hot-remove sections or nodes.

- removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
- removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.
- only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
to return -EINVAL.

by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use.
- Migrate all LRU pages in the range.
- Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not.
Todo:
- allocate migration destination page from better area.
- confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed..

address array
This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64. As I mentioned previous
patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as
per node data.
At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.
So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....
Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may
touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-(

For node hotplug, basically we have to allocate new pgdat. But, there are
several types of implementations of pgdat.
1. Allocate only pgdat.
This style allocate only pgdat area.
And its address is recorded in node_data[].
It is most popular style.
2. Static array of pgdat
In this case, all of pgdats are static array.
Some archs use this style.
3. Allocate not only pgdat, but also per node data.
To increase performance, each node has copy of some data as
a per node data. So, this area must be allocated too.
Ia64 is this style. Ia64 has the copies of node_data[] array
on each per node data to increase performance.
In this series of patches, treat (1) as generic arch.
generic archs can use generic function. (2) and (3) should have
its own if necessary.
This patch defines pgdat allocator.
Updating NODE_DATA() macro function is in other patch.

Change the name of old add_memory() to arch_add_memory. And use node id to
get pgdat for the node at NODE_DATA().
Note: Powerpc's old add_memory() is defined as __devinit. However,
add_memory() is usually called only after bootup.
I suppose it may be redundant. But, I'm not well known about powerpc.
So, I keep it. (But, __meminit is better at least.)

pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.
Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.
This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().
