[PATCH v1 1/3] drivers/base/memory.c: drop section_count

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

 



Since commit c5e79ef561b0 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: don't allow to
online/offline memory blocks with holes") we have a generic check in
offline_pages() that disallows offlining memory blocks with holes.

Memory blocks with missing sections are just another variant of these
type of blocks. We can stop checking (and especially storing) present
sections. A proper error message is now printed why offlining failed.

section_count was initially introduced in commit 07681215975e ("Driver
core: Add section count to memory_block struct") in order to detect
when it is okay to remove a memory block. It was used in commit
26bbe7ef6d5c ("drivers/base/memory.c: prohibit offlining of memory blocks
with missing sections") to disallow offlining memory blocks with missing
sections. As we refactored creation/removal of memory devices and have
a proper check for holes in place, we can drop the section_count.

This also removes a leftover comment regarding the mem_sysfs_mutex,
which was removed in commit 848e19ad3c33 ("drivers/base/memory.c: drop
the mem_sysfs_mutex").
