v2 -> v3:
- NODEMASK_FREE can deal with NULL pointers, so do not
make it conditional (by David).
- Split up node_online's check patch (David's suggestion)
- Added Reviewed-by from Andrew and David
- Fix checkpath.pl warnings
This patchset does some cleanups and refactoring in the memory-hotplug code.
The first and the second patch are pretty straightforward, as they
only remove unused arguments/checks.
The third one refactors unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes.
This is needed to have a proper fallback in case we could not allocate
memory. (details can be seen in patch3).
The fourth patch removes a node_online check.
We are getting the nid from pages that are yet not removed, but a node
can only be offline when its memory/cpu's have been removed.
Therefore, we do not really need to check for the node to be online here.
Since this change has a patch for itself, we could quickly revert it
if we notice that something is wrong with it, or drop it if people
are concerned about it.
