So I'm not opposed to this, but it is a little vague. What does the "hotpluggable" property really mean? Is it just a hint to the operating system? (which may or may not be Linux). Or is it a direction, "this memory must be able to be hotunplugged"? I think you're intending the former, ie. a hint, which is probably OK. But it needs to be documented clearly.
Yes, you've got it right. It's just a hint, not a mandate. I'm about to send v7 which adds a description of "hotpluggable" in the documentation. Hopefully I've explained it well enough there. -- Reza Arbab -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
