As a follow-on to the recent patches I submitted that allowed for a sysfs memory block to span multiple memory sections, we should also update the probe routine to online all of the memory sections in a memory block. Without this patch the current code will only add a single memory section. I think the probe routine should add all of the memory sections in the specified memory block so that its behavior is in line with memory hotplug actions through the sysfs interfaces. This patch applies on top of the previous sysfs memory updates to allow a sysfs directory o span multiple memory sections. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/245 Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/base/memory.c | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Index: linux-next/drivers/base/memory.c =================================================================== --- linux-next.orig/drivers/base/memory.c 2011-01-28 14:14:20.000000000 -0600 +++ linux-next/drivers/base/memory.c 2011-01-31 09:10:11.000000000 -0600 @@ -387,12 +387,19 @@ memory_probe_store(struct class *class, { u64 phys_addr; int nid; - int ret; + int i, ret; phys_addr = simple_strtoull(buf, NULL, 0); - nid = memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(phys_addr); - ret = add_memory(nid, phys_addr, PAGES_PER_SECTION << PAGE_SHIFT); + for (i = 0; i < sections_per_block; i++) { + nid = memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(phys_addr); + ret = add_memory(nid, phys_addr, + PAGES_PER_SECTION << PAGE_SHIFT); + if (ret) + break; + + phys_addr += MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE; + } if (ret) count = ret; -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
