The caller function is setting onlined_pages = 0 before calling online_pages_range(). And there are no other reference to online_pages_range other than from online_pages(). https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/memory_hotplug.c?h=v5.0-rc1#n845 int __ref online_pages(unsigned long pfn, unsigned long nr_pages, int online_type) { unsigned long flags; unsigned long onlined_pages = 0; Regards, Arun
