The mem_hotplug_{begin,done} lock coordinates with {get,put}_online_mems()
to hold off "readers" of the current state of memory from new hotplug
actions. mem_hotplug_begin() expects exclusive access, via the
device_hotplug lock, to set mem_hotplug.active_writer. Calling
mem_hotplug_begin() without locking device_hotplug can lead to
corrupting mem_hotplug.refcount and missed wakeups / soft lockups.

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.
