acpi_memory_device_remove() has been prepared to remove physical memory. But, the function only frees acpi_memory_device currentlry. The patch adds following functions into acpi_memory_device_remove(): - offline memory - remove physical memory (only return -EBUSY) - free acpi_memory_device CC: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c | 23 ++++++++++++++++++++++- include/linux/memory_hotplug.h | 1 + mm/memory_hotplug.c | 8 ++++++++ 3 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: linux-3.5-rc4/drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c =================================================================== --- linux-3.5-rc4.orig/drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c 2012-06-26 13:28:16.722211802 +0900 +++ linux-3.5-rc4/drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c 2012-06-26 13:38:01.085906251 +0900 @@ -452,12 +452,33 @@ static int acpi_memory_device_add(struct static int acpi_memory_device_remove(struct acpi_device *device, int type) { struct acpi_memory_device *mem_device = NULL; - + struct acpi_memory_info *info, *tmp; + int result; + int node; if (!device || !acpi_driver_data(device)) return -EINVAL; mem_device = acpi_driver_data(device); + + node = acpi_get_node(mem_device->device->handle); + + list_for_each_entry_safe(info, tmp, &mem_device->res_list, list) { + if (!info->enabled) + continue; + + result = offline_memory(info->start_addr, info->length); + if (result) + return result; + + result = remove_memory(node, info->start_addr, info->length); + if (result) + return result; + + list_del(&info->list); + kfree(info); + } + kfree(mem_device); return 0; Index: linux-3.5-rc4/include/linux/memory_hotplug.h =================================================================== --- linux-3.5-rc4.orig/include/linux/memory_hotplug.h 2012-06-26 13:28:16.773211163 +0900 +++ linux-3.5-rc4/include/linux/memory_hotplug.h 2012-06-26 13:37:30.545288962 +0900 @@ -233,6 +233,7 @@ static inline int is_mem_section_removab extern int mem_online_node(int nid); extern int add_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size); extern int arch_add_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size); +extern int remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size); extern int offline_memory(u64 start, u64 size); extern int sparse_add_one_section(struct zone *zone, unsigned long start_pfn, int nr_pages); Index: linux-3.5-rc4/mm/memory_hotplug.c =================================================================== --- linux-3.5-rc4.orig/mm/memory_hotplug.c 2012-06-26 13:34:22.425639879 +0900 +++ linux-3.5-rc4/mm/memory_hotplug.c 2012-06-26 13:48:30.096046767 +0900 @@ -659,6 +659,14 @@ out: } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(add_memory); +int remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size) +{ + return -EBUSY; + +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(remove_memory); + + #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE /* * A free page on the buddy free lists (not the per-cpu lists) has PageBuddy -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
