    mm/memory_hotplug: memory group aware "auto-movable" online policy · 445fcf7c
    David Hildenbrand authored
    Use memory groups to improve our "auto-movable" onlining policy:
    
    1. For static memory groups (e.g., a DIMM), online a memory block MOVABLE
       only if all other memory blocks in the group are either MOVABLE or could
       be onlined MOVABLE. A DIMM will either be MOVABLE or not, not a mixture.
    
    2. For dynamic memory groups (e.g., a virtio-mem device), online a
       memory block MOVABLE only if all other memory blocks inside the
       current unit are either MOVABLE or could be onlined MOVABLE. For a
       virtio-mem device with a device block size with 512 MiB, all 128 MiB
       memory blocks wihin a 512 MiB unit will either be MOVABLE or not, not
       a mixture.
    
    We have to pass the memory group to zone_for_pfn_range() to take the
    memory group into account.
    
    Note: for now, there seems to be no compelling reason to make this
    behavior configurable.
