Hi Gregory， Thanks for your comments. Every memcg records shrinker info for each possible node. If we use online node instead of possible node，then during memory hotplug, we must tarverse all memcgs and shrinkers to check whether corresponding node has allocated the shrinker_info. This way introduces more complexity. > > If you're not actually using CXL, can't you just disable CXL in the > BIOS? Then you shouldn't even emit CFMWS at all. I have asked our Intel Support Engineer, he saied that cxl can't be disabled in BIOS. If know how much nodes we actually use, can we specify the max number of pxm? Now the pxm can't exceed MAX_PXM_DOMAINS which is equal to MAX_NUMNODES. Thanks! > > ~Gregory
