Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2. This patch (of 2): We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison. Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point. In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the isolated free lists, to be precise). Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to stale/uninitialized memmaps. So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the memmap is stale either way. This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
