| |
Hello Martin-san.
In your modification of pfn_valid() for IA32 at 2.6.4 stock kernel, it doesn't return 0 even if the node is offline.
True problem is physnode_map's definition. Physnode_map[]'s default (offline) value is -1, but it is defined as UNSIGNED 8. So, pfn_to_nid() return 255.
I think this should be defined as signed like this patch. Maximum node number of IA32 is 16, so this is enough yet.
I found this problem on multi-node emulation for memory-hotplug test. When I started X on this emulation, system panicked at remap_pte_range() by this problem. I think that system will be down when a program will call mmap() for hardware area.
Could you check this? Or, Do you already know this problem?
Thanks.
