| |
Memory hotplug would online new node in runtime, then reap timer will add this new node as a reap node. In such case, for each existing kmem_list, we need to ensure that the alien cache entry corresponding to this new added node is NULL. Otherwise, it might cause BUG when reap_alien() affecting the new added node.
