patch 2. Introduce a new function container_device_remove() to handle
ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST event for container.
If container device contains memory device, the function is
very danger. As you know, we are developing a memory hotplug.
If memory has kernel memory, memory hot remove operations fails.
But container_device_remove() cannot realize it. So even if
the memory hot remove operation fails, container_device_remove()
keeps hot remove operation. Finally, the function sends _EJ0
to firmware. In this case, if the memory is accessed, kernel
panic occurs.
The example is as follows:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/318
so what is the overall status memory hot-remove?
how are following memory get processed ?
1. memory for kernel text, module
2. page table
3. vmemmap
4. memory for kmalloc, for dma
