When calling unregister_node(), the function shows following message at

The reason is node's device struct does not have a release() function.
So the patch registers node_device_release() to the device's release()
function for suppressing the warning message. Additionally, the patch adds
memset() to initialize a node struct into register_node(). Because the node
struct is part of node_devices[] array and it cannot be freed by
node_device_release(). So if system reuses the node struct, it has a garbage.
Nice catch on reuse of the statically allocated node_devices[] for node
hotplug.

Can register_node() be made static in drivers/base/node.c and its
declaration removed from linux/node.h?
Yah. I'll fix it.
Thanks,
