Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86/mm/srat_64.c: nodes_parsed should include all nodes
 detected by ACPI.

Hello,

Would there be any potential issue with this patch? Without this fix, hotadding a CPU with MEM 
attached will cause kernel BUG like below. So this could even be a fix for stable, any comments?

the BUG is:
