This patch fixes a bug where a kernel warning is triggered when performing a memory hotplug on ppc64. This warning may also occur on any architecture that uses the memory_probe_store interface.

The udev rule varies from distro to distro, but will generally look something like: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online" On any architecture that uses memory_probe_store to reserve memory, the udev rule will be triggered after the first section of the block is reserved and will subsequently attempt to online the entire block, interrupting the memory reservation process and causing the warning. This patch modifies memory_probe_store to add a block of memory with a single call to add_memory as opposed to looping through and adding each section individually. A single call to add_memory is protected by the mem_hotplug mutex which will prevent the udev rule from onlining memory until the reservation of the entire block is complete. Signed-off-by: John Allen <jallen@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- v2: -Move call to unlock_device_hotplug under "out" label v3: -Update changelog with trimmed traces from newer kernel -After further testing and reviewing the original purpose of the lock_device_hotplug_sysfs mutex, modified solution to fix the issue by replacing loop that adds memory section by section with a single call to add_memory.
