Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

This introduce a simple struct and associated helpers for device driver to use when hotpluging un-addressable device memory as ZONE_DEVICE. It will find a unuse physical address range and trigger memory hotplug for it which allocates and initialize struct page for the device memory. Device driver should use this helper during device initialization to hotplug the device memory. It should only need to remove the memory once the device is going offline (shutdown or hotremove). There should not be any userspace API to hotplug memory expect maybe for host device driver to allow to add more memory to a guest device driver. Device's memory is manage by the device driver and HMM only provides helpers to that effect.
