Sachin reports [1] a crash in SLUB __slab_alloc():

This is a PowerPC platform with following NUMA topology:
available: 2 nodes (0-1) node 0 cpus: node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 node 1 size: 35247 MB node 1 free: 30907 MB node distances: node 0 1 0: 10 40 1: 40 10
possible numa nodes: 0-31
This only happens with a mmotm patch "mm/memcontrol.c: allocate shrinker_map on appropriate NUMA node" [2] which effectively calls kmalloc_node for each possible node. SLUB however only allocates kmem_cache_node on online N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodes, and relies on node_to_mem_node to return such valid node for other nodes since commit a561ce00b09e ("slub: fall back to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on memoryless node"). This is however not true in this configuration where the _node_numa_mem_ array is not initialized for nodes 0 and 2-31, thus it contains zeroes and get_partial() ends up accessing non-allocated kmem_cache_node.
A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3] where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k kmalloc-512. This seems to have the same underlying issue with node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4].
This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node() anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no usable memory. The "usable memory" condition is also changed from node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures. The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in ___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being reached with an invalid node.
