Patch series "drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks", v2. I remember talking to Michal in the past about removing test_pages_in_a_zone(), which we use for: * verifying that a memory block we intend to offline is really only managed by a single zone. We don't support offlining of memory blocks that are managed by multiple zones (e.g., multiple nodes, DMA and DMA32) * exposing that zone to user space via /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones Now that I identified some more cases where test_pages_in_a_zone() might go wrong, and we received an UBSAN report (see patch #3), let's get rid of this PFN walker. So instead of detecting the zone at runtime with test_pages_in_a_zone() by scanning the memmap, let's determine and remember for each memory block if it's managed by a single zone. The stored zone can then be used for the above two cases, avoiding a manual lookup using test_pages_in_a_zone(). This avoids eventually stumbling over uninitialized memmaps in corner cases, especially when ZONE_DEVICE ranges partly fall into memory block (that are responsible for managing System RAM). Handling memory onlining is easy, because we online to exactly one zone. Handling boot memory is more tricky, because we want to avoid scanning all zones of all nodes to detect possible zones that overlap with the physical memory region of interest. Fortunately, we already have code that determines the applicable nodes for a memory block, to create sysfs links -- we'll hook into that. Patch #1 is a simple cleanup I had laying around for a longer time. Patch #2 contains the main logic to remove test_pages_in_a_zone() and further details.

We're dealing with memory block devices, which span 1..X memory sections.

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.
