[ Upstream commit 3f7daf3d7582dc6628ac40a9045dd1bbd80c5f35 ]
When hot-removing memory release_mem_region_adjustable() splits iomem resources if they are not the exact size of the memory being hot-deleted. Adding this memory back to the kernel adds a new resource.
Eg a node has memory 0x0 - 0xfffffffff. Hot-removing 1GB from 0xf40000000 results in the single resource 0x0-0xfffffffff being split into two resources: 0x0-0xf3fffffff and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff.
When we hot-add the memory back we now have three resources: 0x0-0xf3fffffff, 0xf40000000-0xf7fffffff, and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff.
This is an issue if we try to remove some memory that overlaps resources. Eg when trying to remove 2GB at address 0xf40000000, release_mem_region_adjustable() fails as it expects the chunk of memory to be within the boundaries of a single resource. We then get the warning: "Unable to release resource" and attempting to use memtrace again gives us this error: "bash: echo: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable"
This patch makes memtrace remove memory in chunks that are always the same size from an address that is always equal to end_of_memory - n*size, for some n. So hotremoving and hotadding memory of different sizes will now not attempt to remove memory that spans multiple resources.
