Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arch/x86/mm/numa: Do not initialize nodes twice
On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"),
NUMA nodes could be allocated at three different places.
- numa_register_memblks
- init_cpu_to_node
- init_gi_nodes
All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order:
setup_arch
...
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks
...
init_cpu_to_node
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have memory,
so it skips over any memoryless node it founds.
Later on, when we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node()
and init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have
that have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t
struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE.
So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized numa
nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in free_area_init(),
meaning we have a picture like the following:
setup_arch
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init
...
free_area_init
free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node
init_cpu_to_node
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator
free_area_init_memoryless_node
free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but
init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that,
so they go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without
checking anything, meaning we end up allocating twice.
It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where
memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity.
So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online.
Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke
down the chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling
__try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in
bus_add_device(). Like can be seen here:

=========
The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called,
we did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when bus_add_device()
tries to dereference bus()->p.
The following shows the order of the calls:
kernel_init_freeable
smp_init
bringup_nonboot_cpus
...
bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet
do_basic_setup
do_initcalls
postcore_initcall(register_node_type);
register_node_type
subsys_system_register
subsys_register
bus_register <- register node_subsys bus
Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because
__try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning
we do not end up calling register_one_node() in the first place.
This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought
about how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this
easy fix for the leaking memory issue.
