------- Comment From cha...@us.ibm.com 2016-01-20 11:29 EDT------- BTW, Canonical please ignore the patch attached to the bug back in Nov 2015. The fix has been committed in linux-next (a link will follow) and the developer will backport the patch and supply a new one for the LTS kernel if necessary.

Fontenot <nfont...@us.ibm.com> - 2015-06-05 07:11:45 == Looking at this issue further, it appears to only happen when adding memory that was previously removed. When adding memory that has not been assigned to the partition yet the warnings are not generated. Need to look into the memory remove code paths to make sure we are releasing the memory properly. == Comment: #4 - Nathan D. Fontenot <nfont...@us.ibm.com> - 2015-06-05 07:59:17 == I will have to verify in the Ubuntu source, but this seems like this is an issue that was solved previously by commit 2bbcb8788311a40714b585fc11b51da6ffa2ab92. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/base/memory.c?id=2bbcb8788311a40714b585fc11b51da6ffa2ab92 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1463654/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
