Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: online_pages()/offline_pages() cleanups", v2. These are a bunch of cleanups for online_pages()/offline_pages() and related code, mostly getting rid of memory hole handling that is no longer necessary. There is only a single walk_system_ram_range() call left in offline_pages(), to make sure we don't have any memory holes. I had some of these patches lying around for a longer time but didn't have time to polish them. In addition, the last patch marks all pageblocks of memory to get onlined MIGRATE_ISOLATE, so pages that have just been exposed to the buddy cannot get allocated before onlining is complete. Once heavy lifting is done, the pageblocks are set to MIGRATE_MOVABLE, such that allocations are possible. I played with DIMMs and virtio-mem on x86-64 and didn't spot any surprises. I verified that the numer of isolated pageblocks is correctly handled when onlining/offlining. This patch (of 10): There is only a single user, offline_pages(). Let's inline, to make it look more similar to online_pages().

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.
