mm, memory_hotplug: do not clear numa_node association after hot_remove Per-cpu numa_node provides a default node for each possible cpu. The association gets initialized during the boot when the architecture specific code explores cpu->NUMA affinity. When the whole NUMA node is removed though we are clearing this association try_offline_node check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node unmap_cpu_on_node numa_clear_node numa_set_node(cpu, NUMA_NO_NODE) This means that whoever calls cpu_to_node for a cpu associated with such a node will get NUMA_NO_NODE. This is problematic for two reasons. First it is fragile because __alloc_pages_node would simply blow up on an out-of-bound access. We have encountered this when loading kvm module BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000000021c0 IP: __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x93/0xb70 PGD 800000ffe853e067 PUD 7336bbc067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] CPU: 88 PID: 1223749 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 4.4.156-94.64-default #1 RIP: __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x93/0xb70 RSP: 0018:ffff887354493b40 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 00000000000021c0 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000002 RDI: 00000000014000c0 RBP: 00000000014000c0 R08: ffffffffffffffff R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88fffc89e790 R11: 0000000000014000 R12: 0000000000000101 R13: ffffffffa0772cd4 R14: ffffffffa0769ac0 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 00007fdf2f2f1700(0000) GS:ffff88fffc880000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000000021c0 CR3: 00000077205ee000 CR4: 0000000000360670 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: alloc_vmcs_cpu+0x3d/0x90 [kvm_intel] hardware_setup+0x781/0x849 [kvm_intel] kvm_arch_hardware_setup+0x28/0x190 [kvm] kvm_init+0x7c/0x2d0 [kvm] vmx_init+0x1e/0x32c [kvm_intel] do_one_initcall+0xca/0x1f0 do_init_module+0x5a/0x1d7 load_module+0x1393/0x1c90 SYSC_finit_module+0x70/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xb7 DWARF2 unwinder stuck at entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xb7 on an older kernel but the code is basically the same in the current Linus tree as well. alloc_vmcs_cpu could use alloc_pages_nodemask which would recognize NUMA_NO_NODE and use alloc_pages_node which would translate it to numa_mem_id but that is wrong as well because it would use a cpu affinity of the local CPU which might be quite far from the original node. It is also reasonable to expect that cpu_to_node will provide a sane value and there might be many more callers like that. The second problem is that __register_one_node relies on cpu_to_node to properly associate cpus back to the node when it is onlined. We do not want to lose that link as there is no arch independent way to get it from the early boot time AFAICS. Drop the whole check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node machinery and keep the association to fix both issues. The NODE_DATA(nid) is not deallocated so it will stay in place and if anybody wants to allocate from that node then a fallback node will be used. Thanks to Vlastimil Babka for his live system debugging skills that helped debugging the issue.
