Currently, memory must be hot removed and subsequently re-added in order to dynamically update the affinity of LMBs specified by a PRRN event. Earlier implementations of the PRRN event handler ran into issues in which the hot remove would occur successfully, but a hotplug event would be initiated from another source and grab the hotplug lock preventing the hot add from occurring. To prevent this situation, this patch introduces the notion of a hot "readd" action for memory which atomizes a hot remove and a hot add into a single, serialized operation on the hotplug queue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
