yes. I think callback is the best.
[Zheng, Shaohui] Kame, I check the code carefully and write a simple patch, I found the callback will never be executed. The only entrance of this callback is in function online_pages/offline_pages, but I did not found explicit call to these 2 functions. Do we need to add a memory_notify to trigger this callback in function add_memory?


Thanks,
-Kame

Thanks & Regards,
Shaohui
