In section_deactivate(), pfn_to_page() doesn't work any more after ms->section_mem_map is resetting to NULL in SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case. It caused hot remove failure, the trace is: kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:4806! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 3 PID: 8 Comm: kworker/u16:0 Tainted: G W 5.5.0-next-20200205+ #340 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 Workqueue: kacpi_hotplug acpi_hotplug_work_fn RIP: 0010:free_pages+0x85/0xa0 Call Trace: __remove_pages+0x99/0xc0 arch_remove_memory+0x23/0x4d try_remove_memory+0xc8/0x130 ? walk_memory_blocks+0x72/0xa0 __remove_memory+0xa/0x11 acpi_memory_device_remove+0x72/0x100 acpi_bus_trim+0x55/0x90 acpi_device_hotplug+0x2eb/0x3d0 acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1a/0x30 process_one_work+0x1a7/0x370 worker_thread+0x30/0x380 ? flush_rcu_work+0x30/0x30 kthread+0x112/0x130 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x60/0x60 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 Let's defer the ->section_mem_map resetting after depopulate_section_memmap() to fix it.
