From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm,memory_hotplug: drop unneeded locking Currently, memory-hotplug code takes zone's span_writelock and pgdat's resize_lock when resizing the node/zone's spanned pages via {move_pfn_range_to_zone(),remove_pfn_range_from_zone()} and when resizing node and zone's present pages via adjust_present_page_count(). These locks are also taken during the initialization of the system at boot time, where it protects parallel struct page initialization, but they should not really be needed in memory-hotplug where all operations are a) synchronized on device level and b) serialized by the mem_hotplug_lock lock.
