[Part3 PATCH v2 2/4] mem-hotplug: Skip LOCAL_NODE_DATA pages in memory offline procedure.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Thu Jun 13 2013 - 09:37:51 EST


In memory offline procedure, skip pages marked as LOCAL_NODE_DATA.
For now, this kind of pages are used to store local node pagetables.

The minimum unit of memory online/offline is a memory block. In a
block, the movable pages will be offlined as usual (unmapped and
isolated), and the pagetable pages will be skipped. After the iteration
of all page, the block will be set as offline, but the kernel can
still access the pagetable pages. This is user transparent.

v1 -> v2: As suggested by Wu Jianguo <wujianguo@xxxxxxxxxx>, define a
macro to check if a page contains local node data.
