On arm64 NUMA kernels we can pass "numa=off" on the command line to
disable NUMA.  A side effect of this is that kmalloc_node() calls to
non-zero nodes will crash the system with an OOPS:

This is caused by code like this in kernel/irq/irqdomain.c

    domain = kzalloc_node(sizeof(*domain) + (sizeof(unsigned int) * size),
                  GFP_KERNEL, of_node_to_nid(of_node));

When NUMA is disabled, the concept of a node is really undefined, so
of_node_to_nid() should unconditionally return NUMA_NO_NODE.

Fix by returning NUMA_NO_NODE when the nid is not in the set of
possible nodes.

Does this need to go in 4.9?

That would be my preference.

stable? If so, since what kernel version?


v4.7 and later would be nice.

I guess if you merge it, you could add the Cc: stable@ tag


Thanks for looking at this,
