Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot # failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as # follows: # # Early memory node ranges # node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] # node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] # node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] # node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] # # This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is # also in node1. memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a # section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are # code paths (e.g. memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of # memory section is always initialized. # # In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and # most likely already managed by the page allocator. Scribbling over # those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of # those pages gets used. # # Reported-by: Robert Shteynfeld # Fixes: 2830bf6f05fb ("mm, memory_hotplug: initialize struct pages for the full memory section") # Cc: stable@kernel.org # Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 4aa9fc2a435abe95a1e8d7f8c7b3d6356514b37a # < make -s -j 80 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- allnoconfig # make -s -j 80 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- FIT description: Linux 5.0.0-rc4+ Created: Tue Jan 29 07:58:49 2019 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 5.0.0-rc4+ Created: Tue Jan 29 07:58:49 2019 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 631923 Bytes = 617.11 KiB = 0.60 MiB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x8021b240 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: bb8c5c4b115ba65ec17998f6bf9b288729a6acb9 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mipsel # Build took: 0:00:18.488805
