From d9b41e0b54fd7e164daf1e9c539c1070398aa02e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:27:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [PARISC] set memory ranges in N_NORMAL_MEMORY when onlined When a DISCONTIGMEM memory range is brought online as a NUMA node, it also needs to have its bet set in N_NORMAL_MEMORY. This is necessary for generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE for memory savings. These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA. Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory: Backtrace: [<000000004021c938>] add_partial+0x28/0x98 [<000000004021faa0>] __slab_free+0x1d0/0x1d8 [<000000004021fd04>] kmem_cache_free+0xc4/0x128 [<000000004033bf9c>] ida_get_new_above+0x21c/0x2c0 [<00000000402a8980>] sysfs_new_dirent+0xd0/0x238 [<00000000402a974c>] create_dir+0x5c/0x168 [<00000000402a9ab0>] sysfs_create_dir+0x98/0x128 [<000000004033d6c4>] kobject_add_internal+0x114/0x258 [<000000004033d9ac>] kobject_add_varg+0x7c/0xa0 [<000000004033df20>] kobject_add+0x50/0x90 [<000000004033dfb4>] kobject_create_and_add+0x54/0xc8 [<00000000407862a0>] cgroup_init+0x138/0x1f0 [<000000004077ce50>] start_kernel+0x5a0/0x840 [<000000004011fa3c>] start_parisc+0xa4/0xb8 [<00000000404bb034>] packet_ioctl+0x16c/0x208 [<000000004049ac30>] ip_mroute_setsockopt+0x260/0xf20 Signed-off-by: David Rientjes Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley --- arch/parisc/mm/init.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/parisc/mm/init.c b/arch/parisc/mm/init.c index b7ed8d7a9b33..b1d126258dee 100644 --- a/arch/parisc/mm/init.c +++ b/arch/parisc/mm/init.c @@ -266,8 +266,10 @@ static void __init setup_bootmem(void) } memset(pfnnid_map, 0xff, sizeof(pfnnid_map)); - for (i = 0; i < npmem_ranges; i++) + for (i = 0; i < npmem_ranges; i++) { + node_set_state(i, N_NORMAL_MEMORY); node_set_online(i); + } #endif /* From 4a5fa3590f09999f6db41bc386bce40848fa9f63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:29:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [PARISC] slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEM Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k, mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users reporting these panics.
