When I boot, I have node 0 (4GB) and node 1 (empty):
Early memory node ranges
node 0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000ffffffff]
Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000ffffffff]
On node 0 totalpages: 65536
DMA zone: 64 pages used for memmap
DMA zone: 0 pages reserved
DMA zone: 65536 pages, LIFO batch:1
Could not find start_pfn for node 1
Initmem setup node 1 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000000]
On node 1 totalpages: 0
My steps from there:
1. add_memory(1, 0x100000000, 0x100000000)
2. echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory[511..256]
3. echo offline > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory[256..511]
4. remove_memory(1, 0x100000000, 0x100000000)
After step 2, regardless of kernel:

After step 2, on v4.11-rc5:
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0..254]/valid_zones:DMA
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory255/valid_zones:DMA Normal Movable
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory256/valid_zones:Movable Normal
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory[257..511]/valid_zones:Movable
After step 2, on v4.11-rc5 + all the patches from this thread:
$ grep . /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0..255]/valid_zones:DMA
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory[256..511]/valid_zones:Movable
On v4.11-rc5, I can do steps 1-4 ad nauseam.
On v4.11-rc5 + all the patches from this thread, I can do things
repeatedly, but starting on the second iteration, all the
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory*
symlinks are not created. I can still proceed using the actual files,
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory[256..511]
instead. I think it may be because step 4 does node_set_offline(1). That
is, the node is not only emptied of memory, it is offlined completely.
I hope this made sense. :/
