The patch titled Subject: mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dont-rely-on-system-state-to-detect-hot-plug-operations.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Laurent Dufour ldufour@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm: don't rely on system state to detect hot-plug operations

In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state's value is checked to detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug operation. Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state. In addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system state by the ACPI [1]. So checking against the system state is not enough.

The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]

This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and hot-unplug operations are done. At the next reboot the node's memory ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to multiple nodes:

$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node* total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2

In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON():

This patch addresses the root cause by not relying on the system_state value to detect whether the call is due to a hot-plug operation. An extra parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the operation is due to a hot-plug operation.

[1] According to Oscar Salvador, using this qemu command line, ACPI memory hotplug operations are raised at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state:
