The ZONE_DEVICE pages were being initialized in two locations. One was with
the memory_hotplug lock held and another was outside of that lock. The
problem with this is that it was nearly doubling the memory initialization
time. Instead of doing this twice, once while holding a global lock and
once without, I am opting to defer the initialization to the one outside of
the lock. This allows us to avoid serializing the overhead for memory init
and we can instead focus on per-node init times.
One issue I encountered is that devm_memremap_pages and
hmm_devmmem_pages_create were initializing only the pgmap field the same
way. One wasn't initializing hmm_data, and the other was initializing it to
a poison value. Since this is something that is exposed to the driver in
the case of hmm I am opting for a third option and just initializing
hmm_data to 0 since this is going to be exposed to unknown third party
drivers.

v4: Moved moved memmap_init_zone_device to below memmmap_init_zone to avoid
merge conflicts with other changes in the kernel.

So we need to hold the page reserved flag while memory onlining.
But after onlined, Do we neeed to clear the reserved flag in the DEV/FS
DAX memory type?
@Dan, What will going on with this?
That comment is incorrect, device-pages are never onlined. So I think
we can just skip that call to __SetPageReserved() unless the memory
range is MEMORY_DEVICE_{PRIVATE,PUBLIC}.
When pages are "onlined" via __free_pages_boot_core they clear the
reserved bit, that is the reason for the comment. The reserved bit is
meant to indicate that the page cannot be swapped out or moved based on
the description of the bit.
I would think with that being the case we still probably need the call
to __SetPageReserved to set the bit with the expectation that it will
not be cleared for device-pages since the pages are not onlined.
Removing the call to __SetPageReserved would probably introduce a number
of regressions as there are multiple spots that use the reserved bit to
determine if a page can be swapped out to disk, mapped as system memory,
or migrated.
Thanks.
