Subject: Re: [1/7,v8] NUMA Hotplug Emulator: documentation
Shaohui,
I have had some success. I had run into confusion on the memory hotplug with
which files to be using to online memory. The latest patch sorted it out for me
and I can now online disabled memory in new nodes. I still cannot online an offlined
cpu. Of the 12 available thread, I have 8 activated on boot with the kernel command line:
mem=8G numa=possible=12 maxcpus=8 cpu_hpe=on
I can offline a CPU just fine according to the kernel:
root@...t:/sys/devices/system/cpu# echo 7 > release
(dmesg)
[ 911.494852] offline cpu 7.
[ 911.694323] CPU 7 is now offline
But when I try and re-add it I get an error:
root@...t:/sys/devices/system/cpu# echo 0 > probe
(dmesg)

Am I doing something wrong?
