Patch series "mm: Fix pfn_to_online_page() with respect to ZONE_DEVICE", v4.
A pfn-walker that uses pfn_to_online_page() may inadvertently translate a
pfn as online and in the page allocator, when it is offline managed by a
ZONE_DEVICE mapping (details in Patch 3: ("mm: Teach pfn_to_online_page()
about ZONE_DEVICE section collisions")).
The 2 proposals under consideration are teach pfn_to_online_page() to be
precise in the presence of mixed-zone sections, or teach the memory-add
code to drop the System RAM associated with ZONE_DEVICE collisions. In
order to not regress memory capacity by a few 10s to 100s of MiB the
approach taken in this set is to add precision to pfn_to_online_page().
In the course of validating pfn_to_online_page() a couple other fixes
fell out:
1/ soft_offline_page() fails to drop the reference taken in the
madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) case.
2/ memory_failure() uses get_dev_pagemap() to lookup ZONE_DEVICE pages,
however that mapping may contain data pages and metadata raw pfns.
Introduce pgmap_pfn_valid() to delineate the 2 types and fail the
handling of raw metadata pfns.
This patch (of 4);
pfn_to_online_page() is already too large to be a macro or an inline
function. In anticipation of further logic changes / growth, move it out
of line.
No functional change, just code movement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
