[PATCH v6 15/15] memory-hotplug: Do not allocate pdgat if it was not freed when offline.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since there is no way to guarentee the address of pgdat/zone is not
on stack of any kernel threads or used by other kernel objects
without reference counting or other symchronizing method, we cannot
reset node_data and free pgdat when offlining a node. Just reset pgdat
to 0 and reuse the memory when the node is online again.

The problem is suggested by Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The idea is from Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

NOTE: If we don't reset pgdat to 0, the WARN_ON in free_area_init_node()
      will be triggered.
