Subject: [patch 16/16] kasan: fix memory hotplug during boot
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 14:48:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180525214811.6QvWL%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
Subject: kasan: fix memory hotplug during boot
Using module_init() is wrong. E.g. ACPI adds and onlines memory before
our memory notifier gets registered.
This makes sure that ACPI memory detected during boot up will not result
in a kernel crash.
Easily reproducible with QEMU, just specify a DIMM when starting up.
