mm/page_alloc.c: don't set pages PageReserved() when offlining
Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2. This patch (of 2): We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison. Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point. In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the isolated free lists, to be precise). Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to stale/uninitialized memmaps. So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the memmap is stale either way. This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).
