The patch titled
     Subject: mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-dont-rely-on-system-state-to-detect-hot-plug-operations.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to
detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug
operation. Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong
because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state. In
addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system state
by the ACPI [1]. So checking against the system state is not enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this:
 Early memory node ranges
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff]
   node   1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff]
   node   0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff]
   node   2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and
hot-unplug operations are done. At the next reboot the node's memory ranges
can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is made in
topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state, the
node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to multiple nodes:

$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node*
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses memory
blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs inconsistency is
detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state
value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation. An extra
parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the operation
is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI memory
hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:

$QEMU -enable-kvm -machine pc -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -cpu host -monitor pty \
        -m size=$MEM,slots=255,maxmem=4294967296k  \
