[PATCH 1/2] memory-hotplug: fix not enough check of valid zones

From: Zhang Zhen
Date: Wed Aug 27 2014 - 07:16:30 EST


As Yasuaki Ishimatsu described the check here is not enough
if memory has hole as follows:

PFN 0x00 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
zone type | Normal | hole | Normal |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
In this case, the check can't guarantee that this is "the last
block of memory".
The check of ZONE_MOVABLE has the same problem.
