The memory device can be removed by 2 ways: 1. send eject request by SCI 2. echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/PNP0C80:XX/eject In the 1st case, acpi_memory_disable_device() will be called. In the 2nd case, acpi_memory_device_remove() will be called. acpi_memory_device_remove() will also be called when we unbind the memory device from the driver acpi_memhotplug or a driver initialization fails. acpi_memory_disable_device() has already implemented a code which offlines memory and releases acpi_memory_info struct . But acpi_memory_device_remove() has not implemented it yet. So the patch prepares the framework for hot removing memory and adds the framework into acpi_memory_device_remove(). The last version of this patchset is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/26/175 Note: patch1-2 are in pm tree now. And there is a bug in patch1, so I resend them. The commit in pm tree is: patch1: 85fcb3758c10e063a2a30dfad75017097999deed patch2: d0fbb400b6f3a6191bdc5024f8733b2e2b86338f Changes from v3 to v4: 1. patch1: unlock list_lock when removing memory fails. 2. patch2: just rebase them 3. patch3-7: these patches are in -mm tree, and they conflict with this patchset, so Adrew Morton drop them from -mm tree. I rebase and merge them into this patchset.
