Right now, if we have two isolations racing, we might trigger the
WARN_ON_ONCE() and to dump_page(NULL), dereferencing NULL. Let's just
return directly.
In the future, we might want to report -EAGAIN to the caller instead, as
this could indicate a temporary isolation failure only.

Let's move the split comment regarding bootmem allocations and memory
holes, especially in the context of ZONE_MOVABLE, to the PageReserved()
check.

Inside has_unmovable_pages(), we have a comment describing how unmovable
data could end up in ZONE_MOVABLE - via "movable_core". Also, besides
checking if the first page in the pageblock is reserved, we don't
perform any further checks in case of ZONE_MOVABLE.
In case of memory offlining, we set REPORT_FAILURE, properly
dump_page() the page and handle the error gracefully.
alloc_contig_pages() users currently never allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE.
E.g., hugetlb uses alloc_contig_pages() for the allocation of gigantic
pages only, which will never end up on the MOVABLE zone
(see htlb_alloc_mask()).

Let's allow to online partially plugged memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE
and also consider memory blocks that were onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE when
unplugging memory. While unplugged memory blocks are, in general,
unmovable, they can be skipped when offlining memory.
virtio-mem only unplugs fairly big chunks (in the megabyte range) and
rather tries to shrink the memory region than randomly choosing memory. In
theory, if all other pages in the movable zone would be movable, virtio-mem
would only shrink that zone and not create any kind of fragmentation.
In the future, we might want to remember the zone again and use the
information when (un)plugging memory. For now, let's keep it simple.
Note: Support for defragmentation is planned, to deal with fragmentation
after unplug due to memory chunks within memory blocks that could not
get unplugged before (e.g., somebody pinning pages within ZONE_MOVABLE
for a longer time).

Let's document what ZONE_MOVABLE means, how it's used, and which special
cases we have regarding unmovable pages (memory offlining vs. migration /
allocations).

+ * ZONE_MOVABLE is similar to ZONE_NORMAL, except that it *primarily*
+ * only contains movable pages. Main use cases are to make memory
+ * offlining more likely to succeed, and to locally limit unmovable
+ * allocations - e.g., to increase the number of THP/huge pages.
+ * Notable special cases:
+ *
+ * 1. Pinned pages: (Long-term) pinning of movable pages might
+ * essentially turn such pages unmovable. Memory offlining might
+ * retry a long time.
+ * 2. memblock allocations: kernelcore/movablecore setups might create
+ * situations where ZONE_MOVABLE contains unmovable allocations
+ * after boot. Memory offlining and allocations fail early.
+ * 3. Memory holes: Such pages cannot be allocated. Applies only to
+ * boot memory, not hotplugged memory. Memory offlining and
+ * allocations fail early.
+ * 4. PG_hwpoison pages: While poisoned pages can be skipped during
+ * memory offlining, such pages cannot be allocated.
+ * 5. Unmovable PG_offline pages: In paravirtualized environments,
+ * hotplugged memory blocks might only partially be managed by the
+ * buddy (e.g., via XEN-balloon, Hyper-V balloon, virtio-mem). The
+ * parts not manged by the buddy are unmovable PG_offline pages. In
+ * some cases (virtio-mem), such pages can be skipped during
+ * memory offlining, however, cannot be moved/allcoated. These
+ * techniques might use alloc_contig_range() to hide previously
+ * exposed pages from the buddy again (e.g., to implement some sort
+ * of memory unplug in virtio-mem).
+ *
+ * In general, no unmovable allocations that degrade memory offlining
+ * should end up in ZONE_MOVABLE. Allocators (like alloc_contig_range())
+ * have to expect that migrating pages in ZONE_MOVABLE can fail (even
+ * if has_unmovable_pages() states that there are no unmovable pages,
+ * there can be false negatives).
