Subject: [PATCH] mm,memory_hotplug: Drop unneeded locking
Date:   Mon, 31 May 2021 11:39:58 +0200
Message-Id: <20210531093958.15021-1-osalvador@suse.de>
Precedence: bulk

Currently, memory-hotplug code takes zone's span_writelock
and pgdat's resize_lock when resizing the node/zone's spanned
pages via {move_pfn_range_to_zone(),remove_pfn_range_from_zone()}
and when resizing node and zone's present pages via
adjust_present_page_count().

These locks are also taken during the initialization of the system
at boot time, where it protects parallel struct page initialization,
but they should not really be needed in memory-hotplug where all
operations are a) synchronized on device level and b) serialized by
the mem_hotplug_lock lock.
