You cannot pass an arbitrary number to node data since NODE_DATA may do a simple array lookup. Check for node < nr_node_ids first. pgdat->node_id != nodeid? Sounds like something you should BUG() on. IA64's NODE_DATA is struct ia64_node_data { short active_cpu_count; short node; struct pglist_data *pg_data_ptrs[MAX_NUMNODES]; }; /* * Given a node id, return a pointer to the pg_data_t for the node. * * NODE_DATA - should be used in all code not related to system * initialization. It uses pernode data structures to minimize * offnode memory references. However, these structure are not * present during boot. This macro can be used once cpu_init * completes. */ #define NODE_DATA(nid) (local_node_data->pg_data_ptrs[nid]) x86_64 also does #define NODE_DATA(nid) (node_data[nid]) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
