For example: there is a memory device on node 1. The address range is [1G, 1.5G). You will find 4 new directories memory8, memory9, memory10, and memory11 under the directory /sys/devices/system/memory/. If CONFIG_MEMCG is selected, we will allocate memory to store page cgroup when we online pages. When we online memory8, the memory stored page cgroup is not provided by this memory device. But when we online memory9, the memory stored page cgroup may be provided by memory8. So we can't offline memory8 now. We should offline the memory in the reversed order. When the memory device is hotremoved, we will auto offline memory provided by this memory device. But we don't know which memory is onlined first, so offlining memory may fail. In such case, iterate twice to offline the memory. 1st iterate: offline every non primary memory block. 2nd iterate: offline primary (i.e. first added) memory block. This idea is suggested by KOSAKI Motohiro.
