[PATCH v1 1/5] mm/memory_hotplug: check for fatal signals only in offline_pages()

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

 



Let's check for fatal signals only. That looks cleaner and still keeps
the documented use case for manual user-space triggered memory offlining
working. From Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst:

	% timeout $TIMEOUT offline_block | failure_handling

In fact, we even document there: "the offlining context can be terminated
by sending a fatal signal".
