Subject: [PATCH v3] memory_hotplug: zone_can_shift() returns boolean value
online_{kernel|movable} is used to change the memory zone to
ZONE_{NORMAL|MOVABLE} and online the memory.
To check that memory zone can be changed, zone_can_shift() is used.
Currently the function returns minus integer value, plus integer
value and 0. When the function returns minus or plus integer value,
it means that the memory zone can be changed to ZONE_{NORNAL|MOVABLE}.
But when the function returns 0, there is 2 meanings.
One of the meanings is that the memory zone does not need to be changed.
For example, when memory is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_kernel
the memory zone does not need to be changed.
Another meaning is that the memory zone cannot be changed. When memory
is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_movable, the memory zone may
not be changed to ZONE_MOVALBE due to memory online limitation(see
Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt). In this case, memory must not be
onlined.
The patch changes the return type of zone_can_shift() so that memory
online operation fails when memory zone cannot be changed as follows:
Before applying patch:
# grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 2, zone Normal
<snip>
node_scanned 0
spanned 8388608
present 7864320
managed 7864320
# echo online_movable > memory4097/state
# grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 2, zone Normal
<snip>
node_scanned 0
spanned 8388608
present 8388608
managed 8388608
online_movable operation succeeded. But memory is onlined as
ZONE_NORMAL, not ZONE_MOVABLE.
After applying patch:
# grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 2, zone Normal
<snip>
node_scanned 0
spanned 8388608
present 7864320
managed 7864320
# echo online_movable > memory4097/state
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# grep -A 35 "Node 2" /proc/zoneinfo
Node 2, zone Normal
<snip>
node_scanned 0
spanned 8388608
present 7864320
managed 7864320
online_movable operation failed because of failure of changing
the memory zone from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE

from v2:
- Add the user-visible runtime effects of this fix
from v1:
- Initialize zone_shift argument in zone_can_shift() to 0
- Fix duplicate output of valid_zones
