Only needed for CONFIG_NUMA, but there's no side-effects for UMA kernels
since status_change_nid will always be -1.
Compiler doesn't know that, though.
Right, setting up a memory hotplug callback for UMA kernels here isn't
necessary although slab_node_prepare() would have to be defined
unconditionally. I made this suggestion in my review of the patchset's
initial version but it was left unchanged, so I'd rather see it included
than otherwise stall out. This could always be enclosed in
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA later just like the callback in slub does.
It's not such a big burden to annotate critical core code with such
things. Otherwise someone else ends up eventually doing it.
Yes, please.
