There are cases, where this notifier will not get called (e.g., hotplug a DIMM and don't online it) or will get called, although nothing changed (offline+re-online to a different zone triggered by user space). AFAIK, nothing in kexec (*besides kdump) cares about online vs. offline memory. This is why this feels wrong. add_memory()/try_remove_memory() is the place where: - Memblocks are created/deleted (if the memblock allocator is still alive) - Memory resources are created/deleted (e.g., reflected in /proc/iomem) - Firmware memmap entries are created/deleted (/sys/firmware/memmap) My idea would be to add something like kexec_map_add()/kexec_map_remove() where we have firmware_map_add_hotplug()/firmware_map_remove(). From there, we can unload the kexec image like done in this patch. And these callbacks might come in handy for fixing up the kexec initial memmap in case of kexec_file_load(). AFAIKS on x86_64: - Hotplugging a DIMM will not add that memory to e820_table_kexec - Hotunplugging a DIMM will not remove that memory from e820_table_kexec Maybe we have similar things to handle on other architectures. -- Thanks, David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
