[PATCH 1/2] memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Tue Aug 11 2015 - 03:54:33 EST


When we add a new node, the edge of memory may be wrong.

e.g. system has 4 nodes, and node3 is movable, node3 mem:[24G-32G],

1. hotremove the node3,
2. then hotadd node3 with a part of memory, mem:[26G-30G],
3. call hotadd_new_pgdat()
free_area_init_node()
get_pfn_range_for_nid()
4. it will return wrong start_pfn and end_pfn, because we have not
update the memblock.


This patch also fix another bug, please see
