MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures self-contained memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on s390. MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an inaccessible state via sclp unassign command. Implementation considerations: * When MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY is disabled, the system retains the old behavior. This means the memory map is allocated from default memory. * If MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1 is unavailable, MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY is automatically disabled. This ensures that vmemmap pagetables do not consume additional memory from the default memory allocator. * The MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier has been modified to perform no operation, as MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE already executes the sclp assign command. * The MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE/MEM_OFFLINE notifier now performs no operation, as MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE already executes the sclp unassign command.

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.
