Subject: [Patch]Fix spanned_pages is not updated at a case of memory hot-add.
Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 17:29:32 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060523170830.97E1.Y-GOTO@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
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.
