OK, so this looks like another thing to resolve. I have seen this warning as well but I didn't consider it relevant because I had to tweak the code make the node go offline (removed check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node from try_offline_node) so I thought it was a fallout from there. But let's have a look. hotadd_new_pgdat does for an existing pgdat /* Reset the nr_zones, order and classzone_idx before reuse */ pgdat->nr_zones = 0; pgdat->kswapd_order = 0; pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx = MAX_NR_ZONES; so free_area_init_node absolutely has to hit this warning. This is not in the Linus tree because it is still in Andrew's mmotm coming from http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-vmscan-prevent-kswapd-sleeping-prematurely-due-to-mismatched-classzone_idx.patch So yay, finally that doesn't come from me. Mel, I guess that either hotadd_new_pgdat should keep its kswapd_classzone_idx = 0 or the warning should be updated. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
