[ 1271.325841] acpi PNP0C80:03: acpi_memory_enable_device() error ... By this failure, hot added acpi_memory_info->enalbed is not set to 1. So when hot removing the memory device, acpi_memory_remove_memory() does nothing, since acpi_memory_info->enabled is 0. Thus I cannot hot remove the memory device. According to the messages, add_memory() succeeded. So I think that it is caused by failing acpi_bind_memory_blocks(). I'm now investigating why acpi_bind_memory_blocks() fails.
