The state of a memory block should be restricted to values specified in the documentation of the memory hotplug API. However, since the state field in the memory_block struct was defined as an unsigned long, this restriction was not enforced at compile time. With the introduction of the enum memory_block_state, it is now possible to incorporate the desired semantics in the field declaration and enforce these restrictions at compile time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
