Hi David, While it is easy to construct a scenario where a memblock belongs to multiple nodes, I have to confess that I yet have not seen that in a real-world scenario. Given said that, I think that the less risky way is to just drop the nodemask_t and do not care about calling sysfs_remove_link() for already removed links. As I said, sysfs_remove_link() will silently fail when it fails to find the symlink, so I do not think it is a big deal. -- Oscar Salvador SUSE L3 _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
