subsection bitmap was set/cleared when a section is added/removed, but
pfn_to_online_page() uses subsection bitmap to check if the page is
online, which is not accurate. It was working when a whole section is
added/removed during memory hotplug and hotremove. When the following
patches enable memory hotplug and hotremove for subsections,
subsection bitmap needs to be changed during page online/offline time,
otherwise, pfn_to_online_page() will not give right answers. Move the
subsection bitmap manipulation code from section_activate() to
online_mem_sections() and section_deactivate() to
offline_mem_sections(), respectively.

If I am not missing something, this is completely broken for 
devmem/ZONE_DEVICE that never onlines pages. But also when memory blocks 
are never onlined, this would be just wrong. Least thing you would need 
is a sub-section online map.

But glimpsing at patch #2, I'd rather stop right away digging deeper 
into this series :)

I think what would really help is drafting a design of how it all could 
look like and then first discussing the high-level design, investigating 
how it could play along with all existing users, existing workloads, and 
existing use cases. Proposing such changes without a clear picture in 
mind and a high-level overview might give you some unpleasant reactions 
from some of the developers around here ;)

Thanks for pointing this out. I did not know that devmem/ZONE_DEVICE never onlines pages.

What is the issue of patch 2, which makes pageblock_order a variable all the time? BTW, patch 2 fixes a bug by exporting pageblock_order, since when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set, virtio-mem will not see pageblock_order as a variable, which could happen for PPC_BOOK2S_64 with virtio-men enabled, right? Or is this an invalid combination?

Please see my other email for a high-level design. Also I sent the patchset as a RFC to gather information on users, workloads, use cases I did not know about and I learnt a lot from your replies. :) Feedback is always welcome, but I am not sure why it needs to make people unpleasant. ;)

virtio_mem is x86_64 only. aarch64 and s390x prototypes are available.

If I understood "Make pageblock_order a variable and
set it to the max of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER, MAX_ORDER - 1" correctly, 
you're setting the pageblock_order on x86_64 to 4M. That mean's you're 
no longer grouping for THP but MAX_ORDER - 1, which is not what we want. 
We want to optimize for THP.

Also, that would affect virtio-balloon with free page reporting (report 
only 4 MiB chunks not 2 MiB chunks).

Rather the replies might be unpleasant ;)
