SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/10] memory-hotplug: hot-remove physical memory
> Known problems:
> 1. memory can't be offlined when CONFIG_MEMCG is selected.
> For example: there is a memory device on node 1. The address range

> When the memory device is hotremoved, we will auto offline memory provided

Just iterate twice. 1st iterate: offline every non primary memory
block. 2nd iterate:
offline primary (i.e. first added) memory block. It may work.
