When hot add two nodes continuously, we found the vmemmap region info is a bit messed. The last region of node 2 is printed when node 3 hot added, like the following: Initmem setup node 2 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] On node 2 totalpages: 0 Built 2 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 16090539 Policy zone: Normal init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x40000000000-0x407ffffffff] [mem 0x40000000000-0x407ffffffff] page 1G [ffffea1000000000-ffffea10001fffff] PMD -> [ffff8a077d800000-ffff8a077d9fffff] on node 2 [ffffea1000200000-ffffea10003fffff] PMD -> [ffff8a077de00000-ffff8a077dffffff] on node 2 ...

[ffffea1800000000-ffffea18001fffff] PMD -> [ffff8a074a600000-ffff8a074a7fffff] on node 3 [ffffea1800200000-ffffea18005fffff] PMD -> [ffff8a074a000000-ffff8a074a3fffff] on node 3 [ffffea1800600000-ffffea18009fffff] PMD -> [ffff8a0749c00000-ffff8a0749ffffff] on node 3 ... The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory, and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print the previous one. So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot add memory to avoid the confusion.
