From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Kirill reported that he hit: >> + if (vma || addr) { >> + WARN_ON_ONCE(!addr || addr == -1); > > Trinity triggered the WARN for me: This was just a dumb mistake. I put the WARN_ON() in and planned to have addr=0 mean "use nid". But, I realized pretty quickly that addr=0 _is_ a valid place to fault. So I made it addr=-1 in __alloc_buddy_huge_page_no_mpol(), but I did not fix up the WARN_ON(). So hitting the warning in this case was harmless. But, fix up the warning condition. Cc: Kirill A.
