The patch titled Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: consider offline memblocks removable has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-memory_hotplug-consider-offline-memblocks-removable.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-memory_hotplug-consider-offline-memblocks-removable.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-memory_hotplug-consider-offline-memblocks-removable.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: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: consider offline memblocks removable is_pageblock_removable_nolock() relies on having zone association to examine all the page blocks to check whether they are movable or free. This is just wasting of cycles when the memblock is offline. Later patch in the series will also change the time when the page is associated with a zone so we let's bail out early if the memblock is offline.
