Hi Congyang, 2012/9/27 [off-list ref]
From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <redacted> When calling remove_memory_block(), the function shows following message at device_release(). Device 'memory528' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
What's the difference between the patch and original implemetation?

remove_memory_block() calls kfree(mem). I think it shouled be called from device_release(). So the patch implements memory_block_release() CC: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> CC: Jiang Liu <redacted> CC: Len Brown <redacted> CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> CC: Paul Mackerras <redacted> Cc: Minchan Kim <redacted> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: KOSAKI Motohiro <redacted> CC: Wen Congyang <redacted> Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <redacted> --- drivers/base/memory.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)diff --git a/drivers/base/memory.c b/drivers/base/memory.c index 7dda4f7..da457e5 100644 --- a/drivers/base/memory.c +++ b/drivers/base/memory.c@@ -70,6 +70,13 @@ void unregister_memory_isolate_notifier(structnotifier_block *nb) } EXPORT_SYMBOL(unregister_memory_isolate_notifier); +static void release_memory_block(struct device *dev) +{ + struct memory_block *mem = container_of(dev, struct memory_block, dev); + + kfree(mem); +} + /* * register_memory - Setup a sysfs device for a memory block */@@ -80,6 +87,7 @@ int register_memory(struct memory_block *memory) memory->dev.bus = &memory_subsys; memory->dev.id = memory->start_section_nr / sections_per_block; + memory->dev.release = release_memory_block; error = device_register(&memory->dev); return error;@@ -630,7 +638,6 @@ int remove_memory_block(unsigned long node_id, structmem_section *section, mem_remove_simple_file(mem, phys_device); mem_remove_simple_file(mem, removable); unregister_memory(mem); - kfree(mem); } else kobject_put(&mem->dev.kobj); -- 1.7.1 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
