Hi David, If you are really willing to move the checks from this patch[1] to online/offline_pages, you might consider to put that in as well. So we have a function that checks for everything, and not multiple checks. Another thing is that I would have prefered to take the checks up to memory_block_action, but offline_pages gets also called from ppc-memtrace code. Other than that, Reviewed-by: Oscar Salvador <osalva...@suse.de> [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10567277/ Thanks -- Oscar Salvador SUSE L3
