Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm/memory_hotplug: Clean up node_states_check_changes_offline
From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@...e.de>
This patch, as the previous one, gets rid of the wrong if statements.
While at it, I realized that the comments are sometimes very confusing,
to say the least, and wrong.
For example:
---
zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;
/*
* check whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] will be changed
* If we try to offline the last present @nr_pages from the node,
* we can determind we will need to clear the node from
* node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY].
*/
for (; zt <= zone_last; zt++)
present_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zt].present_pages;
if (nr_pages >= present_pages)
arg->status_change_nid = zone_to_nid(zone);
else
arg->status_change_nid = -1;
---
In case the node gets empry, it must be removed from N_MEMORY.
We already check N_HIGH_MEMORY a bit above within the CONFIG_HIGHMEM
ifdef code.
Not to say that status_change_nid is for N_MEMORY, and not for
N_HIGH_MEMORY.
So I re-wrote some of the comments to what I think is better.
