Hi Marek,

It has been a long time since this patch-set was sent.
And I'm pushing memory hot-remove works. I think I need your
[patch3/5] to fix a problem I met.

We have sent a similar patch before. But I think yours may be better. :)
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/21/126

So would you please update and resend your patch again ?
Or do you have your own plan to push it ?


I don't think that there was any conclusion after my patch, so I really see
no point in submitting it again now. If you need it for Your patchset, You
can include it directly. Just please keep my signed-off-by tag.

Thanks. :)
