remove_memory() does not remove memory but just offlines memory. The patch
changes name of it to offline_memory().

There are 3 functions in the kernel:
1. add_memory()
2. online_pages()
3. remove_memory()

So I think offline_pages() is better than offline_memory().

There is already a function named offline_pages(). So we
should call offline_pages() instead of remove_memory() in
memory_block_action(), and there is no need to rename
remove_memory().

Hi David and Wen,

Thank you for reviewing my patch.

As Wen says, Linux has 4 functions for memory hotplug already.
In my recognition, these functions are prepared for following purpose.

1. add_memory     : add physical memory
2. online_pages   : online logical memory
3. remove_memory  : offline logical memory
4. offline_pages  : offline logical memory

add_memory() is used for adding physical memory. I think remove_memory()
would rather be used for removing physical memory than be used for removing
logical memory. So I renamed remove_memory() to offline_memory().
How do you think?

Yasuaki Ishimatsu

Hmm, remove_memory() will revert all things we do in add_memory(), so I think
there is no need to rename it. If we rename it to offline_memory(), we should
also rename add_memory() to online_memory().

I think so too.

add_memory() prepares to use physical memory. It prepares some structures
(pgdat, page table, node, etc) for using the physical memory at the system.
But it does not online the meomory. For onlining the memory, we use
online_pages().

So I think that remove_memory() should remove these structures which are
prepared by add_memory() not offline memory. But current remove_memory() code
only calls offline_pages() and offlines memory.

The patch series recreates remove_memory() for removing these structures
after [RFC PATCH 3/12]. The reason to change the name of remove_memory() is a
preparation to recreate it.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
