Message-ID: <20070614061316.GA22543@linux-sh.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Andrew Morton , Linus Torvalds Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-ID: (This is a resend of the earlier patch, this issue still needs to be fixed.) When building with memory hotplug enabled and cpu hotplug disabled, we end up with the following section mismatch: WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x4e58): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'free_area_init_node' and '__build_all_zonelists') This happens as a result of: -> free_area_init_node() -> free_area_init_core() -> zone_pcp_init() <-- all __meminit up to this point -> zone_batchsize() <-- marked as __cpuinit fo This happens because CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n sets __cpuinit to __init, but CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y unsets __meminit. Changing zone_batchsize() to __devinit fixes this. __devinit is the only thing that is common between CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y. In the long run, perhaps this should be moved to another section identifier completely. Without this, memory hot-add of offline nodes (via hotadd_new_pgdat()) will oops if CPU hotplug is not also enabled.
