[PATCH R4 6/7] mm: Extend memory hotplug API to allow memory hotplug in virtual guests

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

 



This patch extends memory hotplug API to allow easy memory hotplug
in virtual guests. It contains:
  - generic section aligment macro,
  - online_page_chain and apropriate functions for registering/unregistering
    online page notifiers,
  - add_virtual_memory(u64 *size) function which adds memory region
    of size >= *size above max_pfn; new region is section aligned
    and size is modified to be multiple of section size.
