From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, meminit: ensure node is online before checking whether pages are uninitialised early_page_uninitialised looks up an arbitrary PFN. While a machine without node 0 will boot with "mm, page_alloc: Always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid", it works because it assumes that nodes are always in PFN order. This is not guaranteed so this patch adds robustness by always checking if the node being checked is online.
