Ok, I refreshed by memory with [1]. >From that, it seems that in order to use PMEM as RAM we need >CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. But is that always the case? Can happen that in some scenario PMEM comes ready to use and we do not need the hotplug trick? Anyway, I would still like to clarify the state of the HOTPLUG_CPU. On x86_64, HOTPLUG_CPU and MEMORY_HOTPLUG are tied by SPM means, but on arm64 one can have MEMORY_HOTPLUG while not having picked HOTPLUG_CPU. My point is that we might want to put the callback functions and the callback registration for cpu-hotplug guarded by its own HOTPLUG_CPU instead of guarding it in the same MEMORY_HOTPLUG block to make it more clear? -- Oscar Salvador SUSE L3
