[PATCH v1 06/12] powerpc/pseries: CMM: Rip out memory isolate notifier

Fri Nov 1 01:29:27 AEDT 2019


The memory isolate notifier was added to allow to offline memory blocks
that contain inflated/"loaned" pages. We can achieve the same using the
balloon compaction framework.

Get rid of the memory isolate notifier. Also, we can get rid of
cmm_mem_going_offline(), as we will never reach that code path now when
we have allocated memory in the balloon (allocated pages are unmovable and
will no longer be special-cased using the memory isolation notifier).

Leave the memory notifier in place, so we can still back off in case
memory gets offlined.
