Unfortunately, there is no information to show which memory block belongs
to ZONE_MOVABLE. This is TBD.
+ Memory offlining can fail when dissolving a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE
+ and the feature of freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb
+ page is enabled.
+
+ This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but not enough
+ kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even be able to migrate
+ huge page contents, but will not be able to dissolve the source huge page.
+ This will prevent an offline operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining
+ is expected to succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug
+ to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the memory
+ savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of possibly not being
+ able to offline memory in certain situations.

.. note::
Techniques that rely on long-term pinnings of memory (especially, RDMA and
vfio) are fundamentally problematic with ZONE_MOVABLE and, therefore, memory
