The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is 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 does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out here[1].

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.
