The patch titled Subject: mm: validate device_hotplug is held for memory hotplug has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-validate-device_hotplug-is-held-for-memory-hotplug.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-validate-device_hotplug-is-held-for-memory-hotplug.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-validate-device_hotplug-is-held-for-memory-hotplug.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: validate device_hotplug is held for memory hotplug mem_hotplug_begin() assumes that it can set mem_hotplug.active_writer and run the hotplug process without racing another thread. Validate this assumption with a lockdep assertion.
