Subject: Re: [PATCH] numa, mem-hotplug: Fix stack overflow in numa when seting
 kernel nodes to unhotpluggable.


Hi Dave,

I think here is the overflow problem. Not the stackoverflow,
but the array index overflow.

Please have a look at the following path:

numa_init()
  |---> numa_register_memblks()
  |      |---> memblock_set_node(memory)		set correct nid in memblock.memory
  |      |---> memblock_set_node(reserved)	set correct nid in 
memblock.reserved
  |      |......
  |      |---> setup_node_data()
  |             |---> memblock_alloc_nid()	here, nid is set to 
MAX_NUMNODES (1024)
  |......
  |---> numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug()
         |---> node_set()			here, we have an index 1024, and overflowed

For now, I think this is the first problem you mentioned.

Will send a new patch to fix it and do more tests.

Thanks.
