Not a win on my side I would say :/
That is actually a good point: Can we remove memhp_auto_online or is it already some sort of kernel ABI?

I would say this patch is a step into the right direction - remove the flag from the interfaces, then drop it (eventually, as stated not sure if that train has left the station). > >> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrov...@oracle.com> >> Cc: Juergen Gross <jgr...@suse.com> >> Cc: Stefano Stabellini <sstabell...@kernel.org> >> Cc: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> >> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.willi...@intel.com> >> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalva...@suse.de> >> Cc: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatas...@oracle.com> >> Cc: Michal Hocko <mho...@suse.com> >> Cc: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> >> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo....@lge.com> >> Cc: Arun KS <aru...@codeaurora.org> >> Cc: Mathieu Malaterre <ma...@debian.org> >> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <s...@canb.auug.org.au> >> Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> > > Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mho...@suse.com> > -- Thanks, David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
