[PATCH 5/5] mm/memory_hotplug: Clean up node_states_check_changes_offline

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

 



From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>

This patch, as the previous one, gets rid of the wrong if statements.
While at it, I realized that the comments are sometimes very confusing,
to say the least, and wrong.
For example:

---
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

/*
 * check whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] will be changed
 * If we try to offline the last present @nr_pages from the node,
 * we can determind we will need to clear the node from
 * node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY].
 */

for (; zt <= zone_last; zt++)
	present_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zt].present_pages;
if (nr_pages >= present_pages)
	arg->status_change_nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
else
	arg->status_change_nid = -1;
---

In case the node gets empry, it must be removed from N_MEMORY.
We already check N_HIGH_MEMORY a bit above within the CONFIG_HIGHMEM
ifdef code.
Not to say that status_change_nid is for N_MEMORY, and not for
N_HIGH_MEMORY.

So I re-wrote some of the comments to what I think is better.
