David Hildenbrand 5cb8388a68 mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock
[ Upstream commit 8df1d0e4a265f25dc1e7e7624ccdbcb4a6630c89 ]

add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
is aleady called under the lock from
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.

In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.

Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
once the memory has been fully added to the system.

The lock is not held yet in
	drivers/xen/balloon.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.

Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
exported).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
