mainlining shenanigans
eca499ab37
Presently the remove_memory() interface is inherently broken. It tries to remove memory but panics if some memory is not offline. The problem is that it is impossible to ensure that all memory blocks are offline as this function also takes lock_device_hotplug that is required to change memory state via sysfs. So, between calling this function and offlining all memory blocks there is always a window when lock_device_hotplug is released, and therefore, there is always a chance for a panic during this window. Make this interface to return an error if memory removal fails. This way it is safe to call this function without panicking machine, and also makes it symmetric to add_memory() which already returns an error.

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.
