[RFC][PATCH 05/12] memory hotplug prep: fixup bad_range()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When doing memory hotplug operations, the size of existing zones can
obviously change.  This means that zone->zone_{start_pfn,spanned_pages}
can change.

There are currently no locks that protect these structure members.
However, they are rarely accessed at runtime.  Outside of swsusp, the
only place that I can find is bad_range().

So, split bad_range() up into two pieces: one that needs to be locked
and anther that doesn't.
