[PATCH] catch valid mem range at onlining memory

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Apr 27 2006 - 22:51:16 EST


This patch allows hot-add memory which is not aligned to section.
Based on linux-2.6.17-rc2-mm1 + memory hotadd ioresource register patch.

iomem resource patch is here.
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0604.3/1188.html

Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size.
Considering big section sized archs, this is not useful.

When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource patch,
we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range.

Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add
memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory().
(It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)
