It comes from this code (mm/slab.c): /* * For setting up all the kmem_list3s for cache whose buffer_size is same as * size of kmem_list3. */ static void __init set_up_list3s(struct kmem_cache *cachep, int index) { int node; for_each_online_node(node) { cachep->nodelists[node] = &initkmem_list3[index + node]; cachep->nodelists[node]->next_reap = jiffies + REAPTIMEOUT_LIST3 + ((unsigned long)cachep) % REAPTIMEOUT_LIST3; } } It is supposed to be used only during early init and thus marked __init. And initkmem_list3 is marked __initdata so that matches. But set_up_list3s() is used outside __init marked functions and thus result in an error. I do not know how to fix this.
