From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:25:37 +0900 From: Yasunori Goto Subject: [Patch](memory hotplug) Make kmem_cache_node for SLUB on memory online to avoid panic(take 3) Message-Id: <20071018122345.514F.Y-GOTO@jp.fujitsu.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Andrew Morton Cc: Christoph Lameter , Linux Kernel ML , linux-mm List-ID: This patch fixes panic due to access NULL pointer of kmem_cache_node at discard_slab() after memory online. When memory online is called, kmem_cache_nodes are created for all SLUBs for new node whose memory are available. slab_mem_going_online_callback() is called to make kmem_cache_node() in callback of memory online event. If it (or other callbacks) fails, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called for rollback. In memory offline, slab_mem_going_offline_callback() is called to shrink all slub cache, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called later. This patch is tested on my ia64 box. Please apply.
