    mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock · 8df1d0e4
    David Hildenbrand authored
    add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
    is aleady called under the lock from
    	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
    	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
    to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.
    
    In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
    synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
    already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
    mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
    hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
    block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.
    
    Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
    can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
    once the memory has been fully added to the system.
    
    The lock is not held yet in
    	drivers/xen/balloon.c
    	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
    	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
    	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
    So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.
    
    Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
    XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
    have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
    exported).
