Subject: [PATCH V7 3/3] hotplug/cpu: Fix crash with memoryless nodes
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 11:28:55 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3445a368-d2d4-f908-5f0e-df7bbd659e07@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c88f7263-4f99-c13d-c4d2-9fa8f3d59b8f@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

On powerpc systems with shared configurations of CPUs and memory and
memoryless nodes at boot, an event ordering problem was observed on
a SLES12 build platforms with the hot-add of CPUs to the memoryless
nodes.

* The most common error occurred when the memory SLAB driver attempted
  to reference the memoryless node to which a CPU was being added
  before the kernel had finished initializing all of the data structures
  for the CPU and exited 'device_online' under DLPAR/hot-add.

  Normally the memoryless node would be initialized through the call
  path device_online ... arch_update_cpu_topology ... find_cpu_nid
  ...  try_online_node.  This patch ensures that the powerpc node will
  be initialized as early as possible, even if it was memoryless and
  CPU-less at the point when we are trying to hot-add a new CPU to it.

Changes in V7:
  -- Make function find_cpu_nid() externally visible/usable so that
     it may be used from hotplug-cpu.c
