The patch titled Subject: memory hotplug: suppress "Device nodeX does not have a release() function" warning has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memory-hotplug-suppress-device-nodex-does-not-have-a-release-function-warning.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memory hotplug: suppress "Device nodeX does not have a release() function" warning When calling unregister_node(), the function shows following message at device_release(). "Device 'node2' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed." The reason is node's device struct does not have a release() function. So the patch registers node_device_release() to the device's release() function for suppressing the warning message. Additionally, the patch adds memset() to initialize a node struct into register_node(). Because the node struct is part of node_devices[] array and it cannot be freed by node_device_release(). So if system reuses the node struct, it has a garbage.
