Subject: mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs

Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:
 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs:

$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones

The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the
node1 and node2's directory.

This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later one
of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the system is
detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is raised:

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.

The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the
range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is
registered to multiple node in sysfs.

There are 2 issues here:

a. The sysfs memory and node's layout are broken due to these multiple
   links

b. The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system
   panic.

To address a. register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system
state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug
operation or not.  This is addressed by the patch 1 and 2 of this series.

The patch 3 is addressing the point b.

Laurent Dufour (3):
  mm: replace memmap_context by memplug_context
  mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations
  mm: don't panic when links can't be created in sysfs
