When hot re-add a node, we will reuse the pgdat of it, so does the zone struct, and when add pages to the target zone, it will init the zone first (including the wait_table) if the zone is not initialized. The judgement of zone initialized is based on zone->wait_table: static inline bool zone_is_initialized(struct zone *zone) { return !!zone->wait_table; }, so if we do not set the zone->wait_table to *NULL* after free it, the memory hotplug routine will skip the init of new zone when hot re-add the node, and the wait_table still points to the freed memory, then we will access the invalid address when trying to wake up the waiting people after the i/o operation with the page is done, such as mentioned above.
