Subject: mm: Initialise per_cpu_nodestats for all online pgdats at boot
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2016 10:24:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160804092404.GI2799@techsingularity.net> (raw)
Paul Mackerras and Reza Arbab reported that machines with memoryless nodes
fails when vmstats are refreshed. Paul reported an oops as follows

Both supplied potential fixes but one potentially misses checks and another
had redundant initialisations. This version initialises per_cpu_nodestats
on a per-pgdat basis instead of on a per-zone basis.

This has been compile-tested and boot-tested on a 32-bit KVM only. A
memoryless system was not available to test the patch with. A confirmation
from Paul and Reza that it resolves their problem is welcome.
