[PATCH] pgdat allocation for new node add (call pgdat allocation)
Add node-hot-add support to add_memory(). node hotadd uses this sequence. 1. allocate pgdat. 2. refresh NODE_DATA() 3. call free_area_init_node() to initialize 4. create sysfs entry 5. add memory (old add_memory()) 6. set node online 7. run kswapd for new node. (8). update zonelist after pages are onlined. (This is already merged in -mm due to update phase is difference.) Note: To make common function as much as possible, there is 2 changes from v2. - The old add_memory(), which is defiend by each archs, is renamed to arch_add_memory(). New add_memory becomes caller of arch dependent function as a common code. - This patch changes add_memory()'s interface From: add_memory(start, end) TO : add_memory(nid, start, end). It was cause of similar code that finding node id from physical address is inside of old add_memory() on each arch. In addition, acpi memory hotplug driver can find node id easier. In v2, it must walk DSDT'S _CRS by matching physical address to get the handle of its memory device, then get _PXM and node id. Because input is just physical address. However, in v3, the acpi driver can use handle to get _PXM and node id for the new memory device. It can pass just node id to add_memory(). Fix interface of arch_add_memory() is in next patche.
