      The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages · 92c311b9

      over time that are not migratable.  On a long running system this can
severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug
memory remove operation.

This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier.
The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in
the range specified.  This is used to determine if all of the used pages
in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier
chain).  The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be
removed.  The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be
called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations
that fail due to other handlers.

CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and
resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to
adjust.

      Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not · 3a2c66c2

      movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.

Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated.  Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.

Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain.  If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

      mask.  That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU. 
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.

So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).
