Considering difference between "real" memory hotplug and logical ones,
I found this. I hope this fixes the bug.
But I myself can't do test this..

Thanks,

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.


While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)

Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true and
we have to update that.

But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update page_cgroup->page
if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup.

And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble.
(freeing used page_cgroup)
Don't rollback at CANCEL.

One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub
because it sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback
never be called. (low priority than slub now.)

I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.


Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.
