Virtio-mem managed memory is always detected and added by the virtio-mem
driver, never using something like the firmware-provided memory map.
This is the case after an ordinary system reboot, and has to be guaranteed
after kexec. Especially, virtio-mem added memory resources can contain
inaccessible parts ("unblocked memory blocks"), blindly forwarding them
to a kexec kernel is dangerous, as unplugged memory will get accessed
(esp. written).
Let's use the new way of adding special driver-managed memory introduced
in commit 7b7b27214b ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce
add_memory_driver_managed()").
This will result in no entries in /sys/firmware/memmap ("raw firmware-
provided memory map"), the memory resource will be flagged
IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED (esp., kexec_file_load() will not place
kexec images on this memory), and it is exposed as "System RAM
(virtio_mem)" in /proc/iomem, so esp. kexec-tools can properly handle it.
Example /proc/iomem before this change:
[...]
140000000-333ffffff : virtio0
140000000-147ffffff : System RAM
334000000-533ffffff : virtio1
338000000-33fffffff : System RAM
340000000-347ffffff : System RAM
348000000-34fffffff : System RAM
[...]
Example /proc/iomem after this change:
[...]
140000000-333ffffff : virtio0
140000000-147ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
334000000-533ffffff : virtio1
338000000-33fffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)
340000000-347ffffff : System RAM (virtio_mem)

If subblock size is large (e.g. 1G) 32 bit math involving it
can overflow. Rather than try to catch all instances of that,
let's tweak block size to 64 bit.
It ripples through UAPI which is an ABI change, but it's not too late to
make it, and it will allow supporting >4Gbyte blocks while might
become necessary down the road.

Let's start with a retry interval of 5 seconds and double the time until
we reach 5 minutes, in case we keep getting errors. Reset the retry
interval in case we succeeded.
The two main reasons for having to retry are
- The hypervisor is busy and cannot process our request
- We cannot reach the desired requested_size (esp., not enough memory can
get unplugged because we can't allocate any subblocks).

Let's offline+remove memory blocks once all subblocks are unplugged. We
can use the new Linux MM interface for that. As no memory is in use
anymore, this shouldn't take a long time and shouldn't fail. There might
be corner cases where the offlining could still fail (especially, if
another notifier NACKs the offlining request).

Dropping the reference count of PageOffline() pages during MEM_GOING_ONLINE
allows offlining code to skip them. However, we also have to clear
PG_reserved, because PG_reserved pages get detected as unmovable right
away. Take care of restoring the reference count when offlining is
canceled.
Clarify why we don't have to perform any action when unloading the
driver. Also, let's add a warning if anybody is still holding a
reference to unplugged pages when offlining.

We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks
and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later.
When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate
subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to
our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory
using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor.
We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will
touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when
onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we
use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either
online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range().
It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can
actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be
fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged.
We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the
ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined
manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is
suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to
make unplug more likely to succeed.
Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched.
As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from
kernel module context, export the symbols.
Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages
are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible
for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request.
When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is
queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be
plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part.
On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB ("subblock") granularity.
When required, a new memory block will be added (e.g., usually 128MB on
x86-64) in order to plug more subblocks. Only x86-64 was tested for now.
The online_page callback is used to keep unplugged subblocks offline
when onlining memory - similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. Unplugged
pages are marked PG_offline, to tell dump tools (e.g., makedumpfile) to
skip them.
User space is usually responsible for onlining the added memory. The
memory hotplug notifier is used to synchronize virtio-mem activity
against memory onlining/offlining.
Each virtio-mem device can belong to a NUMA node, which allows us to
easily add/remove small chunks of memory to/from a specific NUMA node by
using multiple virtio-mem devices. Something that works even when the
guest has no idea about the NUMA topology.
One way to view virtio-mem is as a "resizable DIMM" or a DIMM with many
"sub-DIMMS".
This patch directly introduces the basic infrastructure to implement memory
unplug. Especially the memory block states and subblock bitmaps will be
heavily used there.
Notes:
- In case memory is to be onlined by user space, we limit the amount of
offline memory blocks, to not run out of memory. This is esp. an
issue if memory is added faster than it is getting onlined.
- Suspend/Hibernate is not supported due to the way virtio-mem devices
behave. Limited support might be possible in the future.
- Reloading the device driver is not supported.
