docs/core-api: rename memory-hotplug-notifier to memory-hotplug to allow additions of new documentation about memory hotplug under the same roof. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

docs/vm: split memory hotplug notifier description to Documentation/core-api The memory hotplug notifier description is about kernel internals rather than admin/user visible API. Place it appropriately. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

mm,memory_hotplug: implement numa node notifier There are at least six consumers of hotplug_memory_notifier that what they really are interested in is whether any numa node changed its state, e.g: going from having memory to not having memory and vice versa. Implement a specific notifier for numa nodes when their state gets changed, which will later be used by those consumers that are only interested in numa node state changes. Add documentation as well.
