Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm: change type of state in struct memory_block
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 19:56:30 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029195617.2210700-3-linux@israelbatista.dev.br> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029195617.2210700-1-linux@israelbatista.dev.br>
The state of a memory block should be restricted to values specified
in the documentation of the memory hotplug API. However, since the
state field in the memory_block struct was defined as an unsigned
long, this restriction was not enforced at compile time.
With the introduction of the enum memory_block_state, it is now possible
to incorporate the desired semantics in the field declaration and
enforce these restrictions at compile time.
