Only memory to be added to the buddy and to be onlined/offlined by
user space using memory block devices needs (and should have!) memory
block devices.
Factor out creation of memory block devices Create all devices after
arch_add_memory() succeeded. We can later drop the want_memblock parameter,
because it is now effectively stale.
Only after memory block devices have been added, memory can be onlined
by user space. This implies, that memory is not visible to user space at
all before arch_add_memory() succeeded.

I assume only

Given this should never happen and only a future kernel developer
might trip over it, do we really need to kill that developer's
machine? I.e. s/BUG/WARN/? I guess an argument can be made to move
such a change that to a follow-on patch since you're just preserving
existing behavior, but I figure might as well address these as the
code is refactored.

The function change is misplaces in this patch will drop it so this
patch compiles without the other patches.

After this change, the call flow looks like this:
add_memory_resource
check_hotplug_memory_range
hotplug_memory_register
Since in check_hotplug_memory_range() has checked the boundary, do we need to
check here again?

I prefer to check for such requirements explicitly in applicable places,
especially if they are placed in different files. Makes code easier to
get. WARN_ON_ONCE will indicate that this has to be assured by the caller.

Would happen if something goes terribly wrong. We might want to remove
this once we are sure this will not happen.
I replaced it in the meantime by a
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(mem)) {
put_device(&mem->dev);
ret = -EEXIST;
break;

One trivial suggestion about the function name.
For memory_block device, sometimes we use the full name
find_memory_block
init_memory_block
add_memory_block
But sometimes we use *nick* name
hotplug_memory_register
register_memory
unregister_memory
This is a little bit confusion.
Can we use one name convention here?

Functionally, it works I think.
But arch_remove_memory() would remove pages from zone. At this point, we just
allocate section/mmap for pages, the zones are empty and pages are not
connected to zone.
Function zone = page_zone(page); always gets zone #0, since pages->flags is 0
at this point. This is not exact.
Would we add some comment to mention this? Or we need to clean up
arch_remove_memory() to take out __remove_zone()?

We can just go for
crate_memory_blocks() and free_memory_blocks(). Or do
you have better suggestions?
(I would actually even prefer "memory_block_devices", because memory
blocks have different meanins)

That is precisely what is on my list next (see cover letter).This is
already broken when memory that was never onlined is removed again.
So I am planning to fix that independently.

We have memblocks, memory_blocks ... I guess memory_block_device is

Especially, I suspect a lot of bugs in the area of
1. Remove memory that has never been onlined
2. Remove memory that has been onlined/offlined a couple of times
3. Remove memory that has been onlined to different zones.
Will see when refactoring if my intuition is right :)
