[v2 PATCH] mm: move page_ext_init after all struct pages are initialized

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, just a subset of memmap at boot
are initialized, then the rest are initialized in parallel by starting one-off
"pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X.

If page_ext_init is called before it, some pages will not have valid extension,
this may lead the below kernel oops when booting up kernel:

Move page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to make sure page extension
is setup for all pages.
