The patch titled memory hotplug: memmap_init_zone called twice has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memory-hotplug-memmap_init_zone-called-twice.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: memory hotplug: memmap_init_zone called twice From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> __add_zone calls memmap_init_zone twice if memory gets attached to an empty zone. Once via init_currently_empty_zone and once explictly right after that call. Looks like this is currently not a bug, however the call is superfluous and might lead to subtle bugs if memmap_init_zone gets changed. So make sure it is called only once.
