Michal Hocko a69578a154 mm, memory_hotplug: fix MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP behavior
Heiko Carstens has noticed that the MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is broken currently

  $ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
  memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
  memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
  memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
  memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable

  $ echo online_movable > memory34/state
  $ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
  memory34/valid_zones:Movable
  memory35/valid_zones:Movable
  memory36/valid_zones:Movable
  memory37/valid_zones:Movable

  $ echo online > memory36/state
  $ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
  memory34/valid_zones:Movable
  memory36/valid_zones:Normal
  memory37/valid_zones:Movable

so we have effectively punched a hole into the movable zone.

The problem is that move_pfn_range() check for MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is
wrong.  It only checks whether the given range is already part of the
movable zone which is not the case here as only memory34 is in the zone.
Fix this by using allow_online_pfn_range(..., MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL) if
that is false then we can be sure that movable onlining is the right
thing to do.

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.
