[PATCH] mm/hotplug: remove unnecessary BUG_ON in __offline_pages()

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Tue Jul 30 2013 - 02:49:24 EST


I think we can remove "BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn)" in __offline_pages(),
because in memory_block_action() "nr_pages = PAGES_PER_SECTION * sections_per_block"
is always greater than 0.

memory_block_action()
offline_pages()
__offline_pages()
BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn)
