4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7f36e3e56db1ae75d1e157011b3cb2e0957f0a7e upstream.
Commit f9126ab9241f ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new
node.
But there is a problem:
add_memory()
|--> hotadd_new_pgdat()
|--> free_area_init_node()
|--> get_pfn_range_for_nid()
|--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock
|--> ......
|--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid) -------- Here, just too late.
get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0.
As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong
message.
Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff]
On node 5 totalpages: 0
Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 32588823
Policy zone: Normal
init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff]
The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little
earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().
