[Patch]Fix spanned_pages is not updated at a case of memory hot-add.

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

 



Hello.

I found there is a bug in grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span().

Please apply.

---------
If hot-added memory's address is smaller than old area,
spanned_pages will not be updated. It must be fixed.

example) Old zone_start_pfn = 0x60000, and spanned_pages = 0x10000
         Added new memory's start_pfn = 0x50000, and end_pfn = 0x60000

  new spanned_pages will be still 0x10000 by old code.
  (It should be updated to 0x20000.) Because old_zone_end_pfn will be
  0x70000, and end_pfn smaller than it. So, spanned_pages will not be
  updated.
  
In current code, spanned_pages is updated only when end_pfn is updated.
But, it should be updated even if end_pfn is not updated, because
start_pfn might be changed.

This is for 2.6.17-rc4-mm3.
I tested this patch on Tiger4 with my node emulation.
