One example is virtio-mem; while unplugged memory -- marked as PageOffline() can currently be read in the hypervisor, this will no longer be the case in the future; for example, when having a virtio-mem device backed by huge pages in the hypervisor. Some special PFN walkers -- i.e., /proc/kcore -- read content of random pages after checking PageOffline(); however, these PFN walkers can race with drivers that set PageOffline(). Let's introduce page_offline_(begin|end|freeze|thaw) for synchronizing. page_offline_freeze()/page_offline_thaw() allows for a subsystem to synchronize with such drivers, achieving that a page cannot be set PageOffline() while frozen. page_offline_begin()/page_offline_end() is used by drivers that care about such races when setting a page PageOffline(). For simplicity, use a rwsem for now; neither drivers nor users are performance sensitive.
