We routinely do testing with them, actually, just by physically removing all memory described by the SRAT that maps to node 0. You could do the same thing by making all pxms that map to node 0 to be hotpluggable in your memory affinity structure. I've been bit by it one too many times so I always keep in mind that no single node id is guaranteed to be online (although at least one node is always online); hence, first_online_node is the solution. > According to 13808910 this is indeed possible. > > > Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman > > Signed-off-by: David Rientjes > > Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko > Thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
