[PATCH v3 0/7] mm/memory_hotplug: selective merging of system ram resources
Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks. Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon. This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge added resources in this scenario where

[PATCH v1 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Make virtio-mem play nicely with kexec-tools
This series is based on [1]: [PATCH v2 00/10] virtio-mem: paravirtualized memory That will hopefull get picked up soon, rebased to -next. The following patches were reverted from -next [2]: [PATCH 0/3] kexec/memory_hotplug: Prevent removal and accidental use As discussed in that thread, they should be reverted from -next already. In theory, if people agree, we could take the first two patches

[PATCH v2 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Allow to not create firmware memmap entries
This is the follow up of [1]: [PATCH v1 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Make virtio-mem play nicely with kexec-tools I realized that this is not only helpful for virtio-mem, but also for dax/kmem - it's a fix for that use case (see patch #3) of persistent memory. Also, while testing, I discovered that kexec-tools will *not* add dax/kmem memory (anything not directly under the root when parsing

[PATCH v1] virtio-mem: add memory via add_memory_driver_managed()
Virtio-mem managed memory is always detected and added by the virtio-mem driver, never using something like the firmware-provided memory map. This is the case after an ordinary system reboot, and has to be guaranteed after kexec. Especially, virtio-mem added memory resources can contain inaccessible parts ("unblocked memory blocks"), blindly forwarding them to a kexec kernel is
