[PATCH v3] memory hotplug: update the variables after memory removed

From: Zhang Zhen
Date: Tue Jul 29 2014 - 07:40:20 EST


Commit ea0854170c95 ("memory hotplug: fix a bug on /dev/mem
for 64-bit kernels") added a fuction update_end_of_memory_vars()
to update high_memory, max_pfn and max_low_pfn.

Here we may access wrong memory via /dev/mem after memory remove
without this patch.
I modified the function and call it in arch_remove_memory() to update
these variables too.

Change v1->v2:
- according to Dave Hansen and David Rientjes's suggestions modified
update_end_of_memory_vars().
change v2->v3:
- remove the extra space before the function identifier of
update_end_of_memory_vars().
- remove the end_pfn and use start_pfn + nr_pages in the conditional.
