Subject: [PATCH 4.4 05/48] mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit f931ab479dd24cf7a2c6e2df19778406892591fb upstream.

Both arch_add_memory() and arch_remove_memory() expect a single threaded
context.

For example, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c::kernel_physical_mapping_init() does
not hold any locks over this check and branch:

    if (pgd_val(*pgd)) {
    	pud = (pud_t *)pgd_page_vaddr(*pgd);
    	paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr),
    				   __pa(vaddr_end),
    				   page_size_mask);
    	continue;
    }

    pud = alloc_low_page();
    paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr), __pa(vaddr_end),
    			   page_size_mask);

The result is that two threads calling devm_memremap_pages()
simultaneously can end up colliding on pgd initialization.  This leads
to crash signatures like the following where the loser of the race
initializes the wrong pgd entry:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff888ebfff0000
    IP: memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10

Hold the standard memory hotplug mutex over calls to
arch_{add,remove}_memory().
