Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs/core-api: rename memory-hotplug-notifier to memory-hotplug
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
to allow additions of new documentation about memory hotplug under the same
roof.

-=============================
-Memory hotplug event notifier
-=============================
-
-Hotplugging events are sent to a notification queue.
-
-There are six types of notification defined in ``include/linux/memory.h``:
-
-MEM_GOING_ONLINE
- Generated before new memory becomes available in order to be able to
- prepare subsystems to handle memory. The page allocator is still unable
- to allocate from the new memory.
-
-MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE
- Generated if MEM_GOING_ONLINE fails.
-
-MEM_ONLINE
- Generated when memory has successfully brought online. The callback may
- allocate pages from the new memory.
-
-MEM_GOING_OFFLINE
- Generated to begin the process of offlining memory. Allocations are no
- longer possible from the memory but some of the memory to be offlined
- is still in use. The callback can be used to free memory known to a
- subsystem from the indicated memory block.
-
-MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE
- Generated if MEM_GOING_OFFLINE fails. Memory is available again from
- the memory block that we attempted to offline.
-
-MEM_OFFLINE
- Generated after offlining memory is complete.
-
-A callback routine can be registered by calling::
-
- hotplug_memory_notifier(callback_func, priority)
-
-Callback functions with higher values of priority are called before callback
-functions with lower values.
-
-A callback function must have the following prototype::
-
- int callback_func(
- struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long action, void *arg);
-
-The first argument of the callback function (self) is a pointer to the block
-of the notifier chain that points to the callback function itself.
-The second argument (action) is one of the event types described above.
-The third argument (arg) passes a pointer of struct memory_notify::
-
- struct memory_notify {
- unsigned long start_pfn;
- unsigned long nr_pages;
- int status_change_nid_normal;
- int status_change_nid_high;
- int status_change_nid;
- }
-
-- start_pfn is start_pfn of online/offline memory.
-- nr_pages is # of pages of online/offline memory.
-- status_change_nid_normal is set node id when N_NORMAL_MEMORY of nodemask
- is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-- status_change_nid_high is set node id when N_HIGH_MEMORY of nodemask
- is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-- status_change_nid is set node id when N_MEMORY of nodemask is (will be)
- set/clear. It means a new(memoryless) node gets new memory by online and a
- node loses all memory. If this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed.
-
- If status_changed_nid* >= 0, callback should create/discard structures for the
- node if necessary.
-
-The callback routine shall return one of the values
-NOTIFY_DONE, NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, NOTIFY_STOP
-defined in ``include/linux/notifier.h``
-
-NOTIFY_DONE and NOTIFY_OK have no effect on the further processing.
-
-NOTIFY_BAD is used as response to the MEM_GOING_ONLINE, MEM_GOING_OFFLINE,
-MEM_ONLINE, or MEM_OFFLINE action to cancel hotplugging. It stops
-further processing of the notification queue.
-
-NOTIFY_STOP stops further processing of the notification queue.
