Send the v4 patch to mailing list. changelog: v1: add memory range to e820 table, and update the varibles max_pfn/max_low_pfn/high_memory Peter[hpa]: memory hotplug make sense on 32-bit kernel for virtual environment. Andi[ak]: No VM supports it currently, and 64bit is the important part for hotplug Fengguang[wfg]: some review comments on function naming v2: rename function update_pfn to update_end_of_memory_vars KAMEZAWA[kame]: e820map is considerted to be stable, read-only after boot. Fengguang[wfg]: rewrite function page_is_ram, make it friendly for hotplug. v3: keep the old e820map, update the varible max_pfn, high_memory only KAMEZAWA[kame]: suggest to use memory hotplug notifier. If it's allowed, it will be cleaner. Fengguang[wfg]: notifier is for _outsider_ subsystems. It smells a bit overkill to do notifier _inside_ the hotplug code. Fengguang[wfg]: suggest to update max_pfn/max_low_pfn/high_memory in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c: arch_add_memory() now, for X86_64. Later on we can add code to arch/x86/mm/init_32.c:arch_add_memory() for X86_32. v4: update max_pfn/max_low_pfn/high_memory in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c:arch_add_memory() for x86_64, and resent it to mailing list, since fengguang's page_is_ram patch was accepted, Memory-Hotplug: Fix the bug on interface /dev/mem for 64-bit kernel The new added memory can not be access by interface /dev/mem, because we do not update the variables high_memory, max_pfn and max_low_pfn. Add a function update_end_of_memory_vars to update these variables for 64-bit kernel.
