Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm, meminit: Always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 21:00:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468008031-3848-3-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1468008031-3848-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines
that has no node 0. A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash
with the following message
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a3c8

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs. No caller of early_pfn_to_nid
cares except early_page_uninitialised. This patch has early_pfn_to_nid
always return a valid node.
