[PATCH v3] mm/memory_hotplug: refrain from adding memory into an impossible node

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

 



A misbehaving qemu created a situation where the ACPI SRAT table
advertised one fewer proximity domains than intended. The NFIT table did
describe all the expected proximity domains. This caused the device dax
driver to assign an impossible target_node to the device, and when
hotplugged as system memory, this would fail with the following
signature:

Add a check in the add_memory path to ensure that the node to which we
are adding memory is in the node_possible_map

v2:
- Centralize the check in the add_memory path (David)
- Instead of failing, add the memory to a nearby node, while warning
  (and tainting) to call out attention to the firmware bug (Dan)

v3:
- Fix the CONFIG_NUMA=n case, and use node 0 as the final fallback (Dan)
