But more generally, I wonder if we have to differentiate HOTPLUG here at all. @David, can you comment please? > + } > > /* > * Usually, we want to mark the pageblock MIGRATE_MOVABLE, > diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c > index 06be8821d833..b868caabe8dc 100644 > --- a/mm/page_alloc.c > +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c > @@ -1285,18 +1285,22 @@ void __free_pages_core(struct page *page, unsigned int order) > unsigned int loop; > > /* > - * When initializing the memmap, __init_single_page() sets the refcount > - * of all pages to 1 ("allocated"/"not free").
