The patch titled memory hotplug: align memmap to page size has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memory-hotplug-align-memmap-to-page-size.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: memory hotplug: align memmap to page size From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To free memmap more easily, this patch aligns it to page size. The bootmem allocater may mix some objects into single pages. This is not good for freeing the memmap of memory during hot-remove.
