From 4b20477f588055fbe87e69435d3c2344d250f0d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:21:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memory hotplug: fix notifier's return value check Even if notifier cannot find any pages, it doesn't mean no pages are available...And, if there are no notifiers registered, this condition will be always true and memory hotplug will show -EBUSY. This is a bug but not critical. In most case, a pageblock which will be offlined is MIGRATE_MOVABLE This "notifier" is called only when the pageblock is _not_ MIGRATE_MOVABLE. But if not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, it's common case that memory hotplug will fail. So, no one notice this bug.
