[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/memory_hotplug: Add support to unaccept memory after hot-remove
From: Pratik R. Sampat
Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 15:23:34 EST
Transition memory to the shared state during a hot-remove operation so
that it can be re-used by the hypervisor. This also applies when memory
is intended to be hotplugged back in later, as those pages will need to
be re-accepted after crossing the trust boundary.
