The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System
RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory

200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)

It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

arch_add_memory, __add_pages take a want_memblock which controls whether
the newly added memory should get the sysfs memblock user API (e.g.
ZONE_DEVICE users do not want/need this interface). Some callers even
want to control where do we allocate the memmap from by configuring
altmap.
Add a more generic hotplug context for arch_add_memory and __add_pages.
struct mhp_restrictions contains flags which contains additional features
to be enabled by the memory hotplug (MHP_MEMBLOCK_API currently) and
altmap for alternative memmap allocator.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

check_pages_isolated_cb currently accounts the whole pfn range as being
offlined if test_pages_isolated suceeds on the range. This is based on
the assumption that all pages in the range are freed which is currently
the case in most cases but it won't be with later changes, as pages marked
as vmemmap won't be isolated.
Move the offlined pages counting to offline_isolated_pages_cb and rely on
__offline_isolated_pages to return the correct value.
check_pages_isolated_cb will still do it's primary job and check the pfn
range.
While we are at it remove check_pages_isolated and offline_isolated_pages
and use directly walk_system_ram_range as do in online_pages.

When limiting memory size via kernel parameter "mem=" this should be
respected even in case of memory made accessible via a PCI card.
Today this kind of memory won't be made usable in initial memory
setup as the memory won't be visible in E820 map, but it might be
added when adding PCI devices due to corresponding ACPI table entries.
Not respecting "mem=" can be corrected by adding a global max_mem_size
variable set by parse_memopt() which will result in rejecting adding
memory areas resulting in a memory size above the allowed limit.

On an arm64 ThunderX2 server, the first kmemleak scan would crash [1]
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y due to page_to_nid() found a pfn that is
not directly mapped (MEMBLOCK_NOMAP). Hence, the page->flags is
uninitialized.
This is due to the commit 9f1eb38e0e ("mm, kmemleak: little
optimization while scanning") starts to use pfn_to_online_page() instead
of pfn_valid(). However, in the CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y case,
pfn_to_online_page() does not call memblock_is_map_memory() while
pfn_valid() does.
Historically, the commit 68709f4538 ("arm64: only consider memblocks
with NOMAP cleared for linear mapping") causes pages marked as nomap
being no long reassigned to the new zone in memmap_init_zone() by
calling __init_single_page().
Since the commit 2d070eab2e ("mm: consider zone which is not fully
populated to have holes") introduced pfn_to_online_page() and was
designed to return a valid pfn only, but it is clearly broken on arm64.
Therefore, let pfn_to_online_page() call pfn_valid_within(), so it can
handle nomap thanks to the commit f52bb98f5a ("arm64: mm: always
enable CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE"), while it will be optimized away on
architectures where have no HOLES_IN_ZONE.

Patch series "mm: online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock", v3.
Reading through the code and studying how mem_hotplug_lock is to be used,
I noticed that there are two places where we can end up calling
device_online()/device_offline() - online_pages()/offline_pages() without
the mem_hotplug_lock. And there are other places where we call
device_online()/device_offline() without the device_hotplug_lock.
While e.g.
echo "online" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state
is fine, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/online
Will not take the mem_hotplug_lock. However the device_lock() and
device_hotplug_lock.
E.g. via memory_probe_store(), we can end up calling
add_memory()->online_pages() without the device_hotplug_lock. So we can
have concurrent callers in online_pages(). We e.g. touch in
online_pages() basically unprotected zone->present_pages then.
Looks like there is a longer history to that (see Patch #2 for details),
and fixing it to work the way it was intended is not really possible. We
would e.g. have to take the mem_hotplug_lock in device/base/core.c, which
sounds wrong.
Summary: We had a lock inversion on mem_hotplug_lock and device_lock().
More details can be found in patch 3 and patch 6.
I propose the general rules (documentation added in patch 6):
1. add_memory/add_memory_resource() must only be called with
device_hotplug_lock.
2. remove_memory() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is
already documented and holds for all callers.
3. device_online()/device_offline() must only be called with
device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and true for now in core
code. Other callers (related to memory hotplug) have to be fixed up.
4. mem_hotplug_lock is taken inside of add_memory/remove_memory/
online_pages/offline_pages.
To me, this looks way cleaner than what we have right now (and easier to
verify). And looking at the documentation of remove_memory, using
lock_device_hotplug also for add_memory() feels natural.
This patch (of 6):
remove_memory() is exported right now but requires the
device_hotplug_lock, which is not exported. So let's provide a variant
that takes the lock and only export that one.
The lock is already held in
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
Apart from that, there are not other users in the tree.
