Hello Wei,
Just curious if this patch breaks MEMORY_HOTPLUG?

Hi, baohua

Thank you for your attention.

In my understanding of the MEMORY_HOTPLUG this patch has no effect on it. The reason is that in sparse_add_one_section() the memory that memmap needs from Slab if kernel start completed??this memory has nothing to do with memblock alloc/ free memory in the process of kernel start.

You may have a look vmemmap_alloc_block () this function.

If I don't understand right welcome pointed out in a timely manner.

Thanks!

At the first glance of this patch, I suspect that this bootmem may be used by hot-added memory.
If you confirm this won't happen, please ignore my noise.

BTW, next time, bear in mind that top-post is not a good way to reply mail :-)
