From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is zero before initialization. This causes an oops if node 0 is offline in the page allocator because its zonelists are not initialized. From Dave Young's dmesg: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 0-d0000000 SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 100000000-330000000 SRAT: Node 0 PXM 1 330000000-630000000 Initmem setup node 1 0000000000000000-000000000affb000 ... Built 1 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. ... BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001c08 IP: [<ffffffff8111c355>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5/0x870 and __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5 translates to a NULL pointer on zonelist->_zonerefs. The fix is to initialize q->node at the time of allocation so the correct node is passed to the slab allocator later. Since blk_init_allocated_queue_node() is no longer needed, merge it with blk_init_allocated_queue().
