[PATCH V5] mm: memory hot-add: memory can not be added to movable zone defaultly

[PATCH V5] mm: memory hot-add: memory can not be added to movable zone defaultly

[Changsheng Liu]

From: Changsheng Liu <liuchangcheng@inspur.com>

\bAfter the user config CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and movable_node kernel option,
When the memory is hot added, should_add_memory_movable() return 0
because all zones including movable zone are empty,
so the memory that was hot added will be added  to the normal zone
and the normal zone will be created firstly.
But we want the whole node to be added to movable zone defaultly.

So we change should_add_memory_movable(): if the user config
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and movable_node kernel option
it will always return 1 and all zones is empty at the same time,
so that the movable zone will be created firstly
and then the whole node will be added to movable zone defaultly.
If we want the node to be added to normal zone,
we can do it as follows:
"echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state"

Hi Changsheng,

According to the following thread, Tang has no objection to change kernel
behavior since udev cannot online memory as movable.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/21/159

So how about reposting the v5 patch?
I have a comment about the patch. Please see below.
