acpi_get_node calls acpi_get_pxm to evaluate the _PXM AML method for entries found in DSDT/SSDT. ACPI 6.3 sec 6.2.14 states "_PXM evaluates to an integer that identifies a device as belonging to a Proximity Domain defined in the System Resource Affinity Table (SRAT)." Hence a _PXM method should not result in creation of a new NUMA node. Before this patch, _PXM could result in partial instantiation of NUMA node, missing elements such as zone lists. A call to devm_kzalloc for example results in a null pointer dereference. This patch therefore replaces the acpi_map_pxm_to_node with a call to pxm_to_node.
