Description Vitaly Kuznetsov 2016-05-24 14:34:31 UTC
Currently all newly hot-plugged memory remains in 'offline' state and manual actions are required to bring it online. Some other distributions like RHEL carry special udev rule with them:

SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"

but this is not ideal and the rule is missing in Fedora.

To make things work automagically CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE option was introduced. I'd like to have it enabled in Fedora.

For additional info please see kernel commits 31bc3858ea3ebcc3157b3f5f0e624c5962f5a7a6, 8604d9e534a3e662600e288bcfd1a5acd2763d28, and 86dd995d63241039e0ad9123f9b424013c611510.

I've enabled this in today's rawhide.  It should be available tomorrow.
