From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> dummy_numa_init() loops over memblock.memory and passes nid=0 to numa_add_memblk() which essentially wraps memblock_set_node(). However, memblock_set_node() can cope with entire memory span itself, so the loop over memblock.memory regions is redundant. Using a single call to memblock_set_node() rather than a loop also fixes an issue with a buggy ACPI firmware in which the SRAT table covers some but not all of the memory in the EFI memory map. Jonathan Cameron says: This issue can be easily triggered by having an SRAT table which fails to cover all elements of the EFI memory map. This firmware error is detected and a warning printed. e.g. "NUMA: Warning: invalid memblk node 64 [mem 0x240000000-0x27fffffff]" At that point we fall back to dummy_numa_init(). However, the failed ACPI init has left us with our memblocks all broken up as we split them when trying to assign them to NUMA nodes. We then iterate over the memblocks and add them to node 0. numa_add_memblk() calls memblock_set_node() which merges regions that were previously split up during the earlier attempt to add them to different nodes during parsing of SRAT. This means elements are moved in the memblock array and we can end up in a different memblock after the call to numa_add_memblk(). Result is: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000003a40 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000004 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 CM = 0, WnR = 0 [0000000000003a40] user address but active_mm is swapper Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...
