Hi Rashmica,
Unfortunately this patch breaks memory-hotplug.
It makes my kernel go boom when hot-adding memory via qemu:
Way to reproduce it:
# connect to a qemu console
# add hot memory:
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=ram0,node=1
and...

The problem is in this function you added:
+static void merge_node_resources(int nid, struct resource *parent)
+{
+ struct resource *res;
+ uint64_t start_addr;
+ uint64_t end_addr;
+ int ret;
+
+ start_addr = node_start_pfn(nid) << PAGE_SHIFT;
+ end_addr = node_end_pfn(nid) << PAGE_SHIFT;
node_start_pfn() calls NODE_DATA(nid), which then tries to get the node_data[] structure,
and then try to dereference a value in there.
This will only work for node's that are already online, but if you are adding memory
to a new node, this will blow up.
In the case we are adding memory from a node which is not onlined yet, we online it later on
in add_memory_resource:
add_memore_resource
__try_online_node
hotadd_new_pgdat
static pg_data_t __ref *hotadd_new_pgdat(int nid, u64 start)
{
struct pglist_data *pgdat;
unsigned long start_pfn = PFN_DOWN(start);
pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
if (!pgdat) {
pgdat = arch_alloc_nodedata(nid);
if (!pgdat)
return NULL;
arch_refresh_nodedata(nid, pgdat);
}
...
...
I did not have time to think about a fix for that, so unless we come up with something,
this will have to be reverted for 4.18.
Thanks
