Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Pre-validate the address range with platform", v5. This series adds a mechanism allowing platforms to weigh in and prevalidate incoming address range before proceeding further with the memory hotplug. This helps prevent potential platform errors for the given address range, down the hotplug call chain, which inevitably fails the hotplug itself. This mechanism was suggested by David Hildenbrand during another discussion with respect to a memory hotplug fix on arm64 platform. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1600332402-30123-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/ This mechanism focuses on the addressibility aspect and not [sub] section alignment aspect. Hence check_hotplug_memory_range() and check_pfn_span() have been left unchanged. This patch (of 4): This introduces mhp_range_allowed() which can be called in various memory hotplug paths to prevalidate the address range which is being added, with the platform. Then mhp_range_allowed() calls mhp_get_pluggable_range() which provides applicable address range depending on whether linear mapping is required or not. For ranges that require linear mapping, it calls a new arch callback arch_get_mappable_range() which the platform can override. So the new callback, in turn provides the platform an opportunity to configure acceptable memory hotplug address ranges in case there are constraints. This mechanism will help prevent platform specific errors deep down during hotplug calls. This drops now redundant check_hotplug_memory_addressable() check in __add_pages() but instead adds a VM_BUG_ON() check which would ensure that the range has been validated with mhp_range_allowed() earlier in the call chain. Besides mhp_get_pluggable_range() also can be used by potential memory hotplug callers to avail the allowed physical range which would go through on a given platform. This does not really add any new range check in generic memory hotplug but instead compensates for lost checks in arch_add_memory() where applicable and check_hotplug_memory_addressable(), with unified mhp_range_allowed().

README
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.
