From ac13c4622bda2a9ff8f57bbbfeff48b2a42d0963 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Zimmer Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:53:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug.c: move register_memory_resource out of the lock_memory_hotplug We don't need to do register_memory_resource() under lock_memory_hotplug() since it has its own lock and doesn't make any callbacks. Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have anything to cleanup at this point. The reason for this rfc is I was doing some experiments with hotplugging of memory on some of our larger systems. While it seems to work, it can be quite slow. With some preliminary digging I found that lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup. It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the online_page_callback. The online_page_callback shouldn't be very hard to break out. Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that are only updated under the lock_memory_hotplug that would need to be dealt with.
