Subject: Re: [RFC V3 PATCH 00/25] memory,numa: introduce MOVABLE-dedicated
node and online_movable for hotplug
Hi Lai,
Sorry for late reply.
I'm trying to apply your patchset into linux-3.6-rc3.
But I failed to apply them.
What is the based kernel that can apply your patch?
Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
