Nathan Fontenot dc18d706a4 memory-hotplug: use dev_online for memhp_auto_online
Commit 31bc3858ea ("add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory") provides the capability to have added memory automatically
onlined during add, but this appears to be slightly broken.

The current implementation uses walk_memory_range() to call
online_memory_block, which uses memory_block_change_state() to online
the memory.  Instead, we should be calling device_online() for the
memory block in online_memory_block().  This would online the memory
(the memory bus online routine memory_subsys_online() called from
device_online calls memory_block_change_state()) and properly update the
device struct offline flag.

As a result of the current implementation, attempting to remove a memory
block after adding it using auto online fails.  This is because doing a
remove, for instance

  echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state

uses device_offline() which checks the dev->offline flag.

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.
