I have missed a few patchsets/discussions in the last month and wanted to ask a question related to this: Does the new always-succeed 2-pass trim_device design guarantee safe memory hot-remove operations? Afaict if memory offline fails now, the device is ejected (_EJ0) anyways causing a panic. Tested in a VM with linux-next-20130207 and linux-next-20130218 by doing an SCI-eject request on a hot-plugged dimm. Are there more patches in development for safe memory hot-remove? thanks, - Vasilis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
