[PATCH v7 7/7] mm/memory_hotplug: Enable runtime update of memmap_on_memory parameter

Aneesh Kumar K.V aneesh.kumar at linux.ibm.com
Tue Aug 1 14:41:16 AEST 2023


Allow updating memmap_on_memory mode after the kernel boot. Memory
hotplug done after the mode update will use the new mmemap_on_memory
value.
