Yes, but there is a prototype mismatch for arch_remove_memory() on s390 and also other architectures (u64 vs. unsigned long). arch/s390/mm/init.c:262: error: conflicting types for =E2=80=98arch_remove_memory=E2=80=99 include/linux/memory_hotplug.h:88: err= or: previous declaration of =E2=80=98arch_remove_memory=E2=80=99 was here In memory_hotplug.h you have: extern int arch_remove_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); On all archs other than x86 you have: int arch_remove_memory(u64 start, u64 size) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
