It looks like this change breaks "fsdax" mode namespaces in
next-20180705. The offending commit is:
commit 054620849110 ("mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void
and remove check")
Here is the stack trace I get when converting a raw mode namespace to
fsdax mode, and from then on during each reboot as the namespace is
being initialized:

The following commit in -next:
commit 054620849110 ("mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void and
remove check")
changed how the error handling in sparse_add_one_section() works.
Previously sparse_index_init() could return -EEXIST, and the function would
continue on happily. 'ret' would get unconditionally overwritten by the
result from sparse_init_one_section() and the error code after the 'out:'
label wouldn't be triggered.
With the above referenced commit, though, an -EEXIST error return from
sparse_index_init() now takes us through the function and into the error
case after 'out:'. This eventually causes a kernel BUG, probably because
we've just freed a memory section that we successfully set up and marked as
present:

Fix this by clearing 'ret' back to 0 if sparse_index_init() returns
-EEXIST. This restores the previous behavior.

My bad, I missed that.

sparse_index_init() can return:
-ENOMEM, -EEXIST or 0.
So what about this?:
diff --git a/mm/sparse.c b/mm/sparse.c
index f55e79fda03e..eb188eb6b82d 100644
--- a/mm/sparse.c
+++ b/mm/sparse.c
@@ -770,6 +770,7 @@ int __meminit sparse_add_one_section(struct pglist_data *pgdat,
ret = sparse_index_init(section_nr, pgdat->node_id);
if (ret < 0 && ret != -EEXIST)
return ret;
+ ret = 0;
Does this look more clean?

Thanks.
And gee it would be nice if some of this code was commented. I
*assume* what's happening with that -EEXIST is that
sparse_add_one_section() is discovering that the root mem_section was
already initialized so things are OK. Maybe. My mind-reading skills
aren't so good on Fridays.
And sparse_index_init() sure looks like it needs locking to avoid races
around mem_section[root]. Or perhaps we're known to be single-threaded
here.

Sure, that's probably better.
Andrew, what's the easiest way forward? I can send out a v2, you can fold
this into his previous patch, or something else?

commit 054620849110 ("mm/sparse.c: make sparse_init_one_section void and
remove check")
changed how the error handling in sparse_add_one_section() works.
Previously sparse_index_init() could return -EEXIST, and the function would
continue on happily. 'ret' would get unconditionally overwritten by the
result from sparse_init_one_section() and the error code after the 'out:'
label wouldn't be triggered.
With the above referenced commit, though, an -EEXIST error return from
sparse_index_init() now takes us through the function and into the error
case after 'out:'. This eventually causes a kernel BUG, probably because
we've just freed a memory section that we successfully set up and marked as
present:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0005000080

Fix this by clearing 'ret' back to 0 if sparse_index_init() returns
-EEXIST. This restores the previous behavior.
