Ok, sorry for the lateness, but I had to re-fetch the code on my brain again.

I just finished v4 of this patchset and it seems this problem is gone:

# ./random 1
- start: migrate_huge_offline
- use NUMA nodes 0,1.
- mmap and free 8388608 bytes hugepages on node 0
- mmap and free 8388608 bytes hugepages on node 1
- pass: mmap_offline_node_huge
- start: hotplug_memory
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy

offline: Invalid argument
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Invalid argument
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
offline: Device or resource busy
- pass: hotplug_memory

The test seems to suceed and no crash on the kernel side.

I will just run some more tests to make sure the thing is solid enough
and then I will post v4.

Thanks
