[PATCH 0/3] Fixes "mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug"

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

 



During reviewing David's code, I found current sub-section hotplug is
broken in several places.

The following link fix one potential issue, while David and I still spot
some suspicious points.

The problem here is mainly about the memmap manipulation:

  * memmap would be overwrite if not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
  * only need to adjust memmap for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

Wei Yang (3):
  mm/sparsemem: adjust memmap only for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
  mm/sparsemem: get physical address to page struct instead of virtual
    address to pfn
  mm/sparsemem: avoid memmap overwrite for non-SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
