try_offline_node() is pretty much broken right now: - The node span is updated when onlining memory, not when adding it. We ignore memory that was mever onlined. Bad. - We touch possible garbage memmaps. The pfn_to_nid(pfn) can easily trigger a kernel panic. Bad for memory that is offline but also bad for subsection hotadd with ZONE_DEVICE, whereby the memmap of the first PFN of a section might contain garbage. - Sections belonging to mixed nodes are not properly considered. As memory blocks might belong to multiple nodes, we would have to walk all pageblocks (or at least subsections) within present sections. However, we don't have a way to identify whether a memmap that is not online was initialized (relevant for ZONE_DEVICE). This makes things more complicated. Luckily, we can piggy pack on the node span and the nid stored in memory blocks. Currently, the node span is grown when calling move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory,...
