Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Implement numa node notifier

v2 -> v3:
  - Add Suggested-by (David)
  - Replace last N_NORMAL_MEMORY mention in slub (David)
  - Replace the notifier for autoweitght-mempolicy
  - Fix build on !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

v1 -> v2:
  - Remove status_change_nid_normal and the code that
    deals with it (David & Vlastimil)
  - Remove slab_mem_offline_callback (David & Vlastimil)
  - Change the order of canceling the notifiers
    in {online,offline}_pages (Vlastimil)
  - Fix up a couple of whitespaces (Jonathan Cameron)
  - Add RBs-by

Memory notifier is a tool that allow consumers to get notified whenever
memory gets onlined or offlined in the system.
Currently, there are 10 consumers of that, but 5 out of those 10 consumers
are only interested in getting notifications when a numa node changes its
memory state.
That means going from memoryless to memory-aware of vice versa.

Which means that for every {online,offline}_pages operation they get
notified even though the numa node might not have changed its state.

While we are doing this, remove status_change_nid_normal, as the only
current user (slub) does not really need it.
This allows us to further simplify and clean up the code.

The first patch gets rid of status_change_nid_normal in slub.
The second patch implements a numa node notifier that does just that, and have
those consumers register in there, so they get notified only when they are
interested.

The third patch replaces 'status_change_nid{_normal}' fields within
memory_notify with a 'nid', as that is only what we need for memory
notifer and update the only user of it (page_ext).

Consumers that are only interested in numa node states change are:

 - memory-tier
 - slub
 - cpuset
 - hmat
 - cxl
 - autoweight-mempolicy

Oscar Salvador (3):
  mm,slub: Do not special case N_NORMAL nodes for slab_nodes
  mm,memory_hotplug: Implement numa node notifier
  mm,memory_hotplug: Rename status_change_nid parameter in memory_notify
