4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tang Chen <[email protected]> commit 7f36e3e56db1ae75d1e157011b3cb2e0957f0a7e upstream. Commit f9126ab9241f ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new node. But there is a problem: add_memory() |--> hotadd_new_pgdat() |--> free_area_init_node() |--> get_pfn_range_for_nid() |--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock |--> ...... |--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid) -------- Here, just too late. get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0. As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong message. Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] On node 5 totalpages: 0 Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 32588823 Policy zone: Normal init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff] The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().
