Wang Nan 6326440077 memory-hotplug: add zone_for_memory() for selecting zone for new memory
This series of patches fixes a problem when adding memory in bad manner.
For example: for a x86_64 machine booted with "mem=400M" and with 2GiB
memory installed, following commands cause problem:

  # echo 0x40000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
 [   28.613895] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x40000000-0x47ffffff]
  # echo 0x48000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
 [   28.693675] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x48000000-0x4fffffff]
  # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state
  # echo 0x50000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
 [   29.084090] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x50000000-0x57ffffff]
  # echo 0x58000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
 [   29.151880] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x58000000-0x5fffffff]
  # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory11/state
  # echo online> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory8/state
  # echo online> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory10/state
  # echo offline> /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state

This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a
section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL
for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE.

After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from
zoneinfo:

  # cat /proc/zoneinfo
  ...

          managed  65536
  ...

This series of patches solve the problem by checking ZONE_MOVABLE when
choosing zone for new memory.  If new memory is inside or higher than
ZONE_MOVABLE, makes it go there instead.

After applying this series of patches, following are free and zoneinfo
result (after offlining memory9):

This patch (of 7):

Introduce zone_for_memory() in arch independent code for
arch_add_memory() use.

Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it.  However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.

should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE.  If it
has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and
movable memory.  If new memory is higher than movable, it should be
added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.
