There are a few spots where we call memory_notifier. This doesn't need to be done under lock since memory_notify is just a blocking_notifier_call_chain with it's own locking mechanism. This RFC is a follow on to the one I submitted earlier. (move register_memory_resource out of the lock_memory_hotplug, commit ac13c46) Most of our time is being spend under the memory hotplug lock in particular online_pages() so it makes sense to move out everything that can be easily moved out. However perf pointed me to a spot to work on, setup_zone_migrate_reserve. In fact most of the time is spent there. Since that is going to require more reading and time I will start by whittling out some easy pieces. cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxx> cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@xxxxxxxxxx> cc: Cody P Schafer <cody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: "Rafael J.
