[PATCH v3 0/6] mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE
@Andrew can we give this a churn and consider it for v5.9 in case there are no more comments? Patch #1-#4 have RB's, patch #5 is virtio-mem stuff maintained by me, patch #6 is just a doc update. --- 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

[PATCH v2 0/6] mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE
@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

[PATCH v5 0/6] mm / virtio-mem: support ZONE_MOVABLE
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),
