Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v1. A hotadded node/pgdat will span no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via move_pfn_range_to_zone() -> resize_pgdat_range - e.g., when onlining memory blocks. We don't have to initialize the node_start_pfn to the memory we are adding. This patch (of 2): Especially, there is an inconsistency: - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node with cpus: node_start_pf == 0 - Offlining and removing last memory from a node: node_start_pfn == 0 - Hotplugging memory to a memory-less node without cpus: node_start_pfn != 0 As soon as memory is onlined, node_start_pfn is overwritten with the actual start. E.g., when adding two DIMMs but only onlining one of both, only that DIMM (with online memory blocks) is spanned by the node. Currently, the validity of node_start_pfn really is linked to node_spanned_pages != 0. With node_spanned_pages == 0 (e.g., before onlining memory), it has no meaning. So let's stop setting node_start_pfn, just to be overwritten via move_pfn_range_to_zone(). This avoids confusion when looking at the code, wondering which magic will be performed with the node_start_pfn in this function, when hotadding a pgdat.

README
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.
