[PATCH 0/2 V2] memory_hotplug: fix memory hotplug bug

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Wed Oct 24 2012 - 05:42:10 EST


We found 2 bugs while we test and develop memory hotplug.

The hotplug code does not handle node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] correctly,
it may corrupt the memory.

And we ensure the SLUB do NOT respond when node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
is not changed.

The patchset is based on mainline(3d0ceac129f3ea0b125289055a3aa7519d38df77)
