There is only very limited information printed when the memory offlining fails: [ 1984.506184] rac1 kernel: memory offlining [mem 0x82600000000-0x8267fffffff] failed due to signal backoff This tells us that the failure is triggered by the userspace intervention but it doesn't tell us much more about the underlying reason. It might be that the page migration failes repeatedly and the userspace timeout expires and send a signal or it might be some of the earlier steps (isolation, memory notifier) takes too long. If the migration failes then it would be really helpful to see which page that and its state. The same applies to the isolation phase. If we fail to isolate a page from the allocator then knowing the state of the page would be helpful as well. Dump the page state that fails to get isolated or migrated. This will tell us more about the failure and what to focus on during debugging.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
