[ Upstream commit 53d38316ab2017a7c0d733765b521700aa357ec9 ]
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2.
Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64,
don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most
prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such
driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example,
having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided
memory map.
Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is
especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit
7b7b27214bba ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce
add_memory_driver_managed()").
Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when
applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64,
making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.
This patch (of 2):
If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory.
While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added
without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use
memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of
silently ignoring the error.

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.
