Not that memory hot-remove is there yet today, but if a NUMA node is being removed, i would assume the memory for that node goes with it. i.e assuming alloc_percpu() gets node local memory for each cpu. So is it safe to continue to reference an area of an offline cpu that may not exist? -- Cheers, Ashok Raj - Open Source Technology Center - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
