Changelog:
v2 - v3
Fixed two issues found during testing
Addressed Kbuild warning reports
v1 - v2
Added struct page poisoning checking in order to verify that
struct pages are never accessed until initialized during memory
hotplug
This patchset:
- Improves hotplug performance by eliminating a number of
struct page traverses during memory hotplug.
- Fixes some issues with hotplugging, where boundaries
were not properly checked. And on x86 block size was not properly aligned
with end of memory
- Also, potentially improves boot performance by eliminating condition from
__init_single_page().
- Adds robustness by verifying that that struct pages are correctly
poisoned when flags are accessed.
The following experiments were performed on Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @ 2.60GHz
with 1T RAM:
