From: Shaohui Zheng Add mem_hotplug/add_memory interface to support to memory hotplug emulation. the reserved memory can be added into desired node with this interface. Add a memory section(128M) to node 3(boots with mem=1024m) echo 0x40000000,3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory And more we make it friendly, it is possible to add memory to do echo 3g > mem_hotplug/add_memory echo 1024m,3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory Another format suggested by Dave Hansen: echo physical_address=0x40000000 numa_node=3 > mem_hotplug/add_memory it is more explicit to show meaning of the parameters.
