From 27227c733852f71008e9bf165950bb2edaed3a90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Tatashin Date: Fri, 11 May 2018 16:01:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: sections are not offlined during memory hotremove Memory hotplug and hotremove operate with per-block granularity. If the machine has a large amount of memory (more than 64G), the size of a memory block can span multiple sections. By mistake, during hotremove we set only the first section to offline state. The bug was discovered because kernel selftest started to fail: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180423011247.GK5563@yexl-desktop After commit, "mm/memory_hotplug: optimize probe routine". But, the bug is older than this commit. In this optimization we also added a check for sections to be in a proper state during hotplug operation.
