Hi Tang, I haven't read the patchset yet, but could you give a short describe how you design your implementation in this patchset? Regards, Jaegeuk
Hi Jaegeuk, Thanks for your joining in. :) This feature is used in memory hotplug. In order to implement a whole node hotplug, we need to make sure the node contains no kernel memory, because memory used by kernel could not be migrated. (Since the kernel memory is directly mapped, VA = PA + __PAGE_OFFSET. So the physical address could not be changed.) With this boot option, user could specify all the memory on a node to be movable(which means they are in ZONE_MOVABLE), so that the node could be hot-removed.
