The patch titled Subject: memory-hotplug: free node_data when a node is offlined has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memory-hotplug-free-node_data-when-a-node-is-offlined.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wen Congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memory-hotplug: free node_data when a node is offlined We call hotadd_new_pgdat() to allocate memory to store node_data. So we should free it when removing a node.
