The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is currently
restricted to 'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a
larger span of memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics.
For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get
added from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the
available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added.
In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the
memory being added, even if it means splitting the addition into
memblock-sized chunks.
Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of
memory if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for
it are met,. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory
range being removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks,
and to loop through those as needed.

This conflicts with https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
IIUC Andrew was planning add that series to -mm. Also that patchset makes
some of related changes in this patch not required. Can you rebase this
series on top of that ?

We should handle the below error details here.
1) If we hit an error after some blocks got added, should we iterate over rest of the dev_dax->nr_range.
2) With some blocks added if we return a failure here, we remove the
resource in dax_kmem. Is that ok?
IMHO error handling with partial creation of memory blocks in a resource range should be
documented with this change.

Or, should we remove all added memory blocks upon error?

Another choice to organize code is to use different step (memblock_size
vs. size) in "for" loop.
It's not necessary in this patchset. It appears that we cannot create
1GB mapping if we put memmap on memory now, right? If so, is it doable
to support that via separating creating memory mapping from
arch_add_memory()?

If mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory(), we will call
firmware_map_add_hotplug() for whole range. But here we may call
firmware_map_remove() for part of range. Is it OK?

I didn't address these in v3 - I wasn't sure how we'd proceed here.
Something obviously went very wrong and I'd imagine it is okay if this
memory is unusable as a result.
What woyuld removing the blocks we added look like? Just call
try_remove_memory() from the error path in add_memory_resource()? (for
a range of [start, cur_start) ?

Good point, this is a discrepancy in the add vs remove path. Can the
firmware memmap entries be moved up a bit in the add path, and is it
okay to create these for each memblock? Or should these be for the
whole range? I'm not familiar with the implications. (I've left it as
is for v3 for now, but depending on the direction I can update in a
future rev).

I guess that we can just keep the original behavior. Originally, if
something goes wrong, arch_remove_memory() and remove_memory_block() (in
create_memory_block_devices()) will be called for all added memory
range. So, we should do that too?

Cced more firmware map developers and maintainers.
Per my understanding, we should create one firmware memmap entry for
each memblock.
