Let's add a safe mechanism to unplug memory, avoiding long/endless loops when trying to offline memory - similar to in SBM. Fake-offline all memory (via alloc_contig_range()) before trying to offline+remove it. Use this mode as default, but allow to enable the other mode explicitly (which could give better memory hotunplug guarantees in some environments). The "unsafe" mode can be enabled e.g., via virtio_mem.bbm_safe_unplug=0 on the cmdline. Reviewed-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: "Michael S.

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.
