[Xen-devel] [PATCH] GSoC 2010 - Memory hotplug support for Xen guests - third fully working version



Hi,

Here is the third version of memory hotplug support
for Xen guests patch. This one cleanly applies to
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
repository, xen/memory-hotplug head.

Thx.

Thx. Fixed.

No. Only those changes are needed where
xen_domain()/xen_pv_domain() is used.

Done.

I will do that if this patch will be accepted.

There is no simple way to do that. It requiers to do some
changes in drivers/base/memory.c code. I think it should
be done as kernel boot option (on by default to not break
things using this interface now). If it be useful for maintainers
of mm/memory_hotplug.c and drivers/base/memory.c code then
I could do that. Currently original arch/x86/Kconfig version
is restored.

Good question. I looked throught the code and could
not find any simple explanation why mm/memory_hotplug.c
authors used __ref instead __meminit. Could you (mm/memory_hotplug.c
authors/maintainers) tell us why ???

Yes, because as I know S3 state is supported by Xen guests.

Done.

As I know no however as I saw anybody do not differentiate between
normal and hotplugged memory. I thought about that ealier however
stated that this soultion does not give us any real gain. That is why
I decided to use standard name for hotplugged memory.

If you have a questions please drop me a line.
