@Andrew, @Mst, I suggest the whole series (including the virtio-mem change) goes via the -mm tree. Currently, virtio-mem does not really support ZONE_MOVABLE. While it allows to online fully plugged memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE, it does not allow to online partially-plugged memory blocks to ZONE_MOVABLE and will never consider such memory blocks when unplugging memory. This might be surprising

For 5.10. Patch #1-#4,#6 have RBs or ACKs, patch #5 is virtio-mem stuff maintained by me. This should go via the -mm tree. --- When introducing virtio-mem, the semantics of ZONE_MOVABLE were rather unclear, which is why we special-cased ZONE_MOVABLE such that partially plugged blocks would never end up in ZONE_MOVABLE. Now that the semantics are much clearer (and are documented in patch #6),

@Andrew can we give this a churn and consider it for v5.9 in case there are no more comments?

This series is based on v5.7-rc4. The patches are located at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git virtio-mem-v4 This is basically a resend of v3 [1], now based on v5.7-rc4 and restested. One patch was reshuffled and two ACKs I missed to add were added. The rebase did not require any modifications to patches. Details about virtio-mem can be found in the cover letter of v2 [2]. A

I'll be happy to get review feedback, testing reports, etc. for the virtio-mem changes. If there are no further comments, I guess this is good to go as a v1 soon.
