Subject: [PATCH v4] Documentation, dt, numa: Add note to empty NUMA node
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2021 13:23:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210625052338.4875-1-gshan@redhat.com> (raw)

The empty memory nodes, where no memory resides in, are allowed.
For these empty memory nodes, the 'len' of 'reg' property is zero.
The NUMA node IDs are still valid and parsed, but memory can be
added to them through hotplug afterwards. I finds difficulty to
get where it's properly documented.

So lets add note to empty memory nodes in the NUMA binding doc.
