Subject: [v2 PATCH] mm: move page_ext_init after all struct pages are initialized
Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 15:13:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463696006-31360-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linaro.org> (raw)

When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, just a subset of memmap at boot
are initialized, then the rest are initialized in parallel by starting one-off
"pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X.

If page_ext_init is called before it, some pages will not have valid extension,
this may lead the below kernel oops when booting up kernel:

Move page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to make sure page extension
is setup for all pages.
