Subject[PATCH] powerpc/numa: fix hot-added CPU on memory-less node
Date
Trying to hotplug a CPU on an empty NUMA node (without
memory or CPU) crashes the kernel when the CPU is onlined.

During the onlining process, the kernel calls start_secondary()
that ends by calling
set_numa_mem(local_memory_node(numa_cpu_lookup_table[cpu]))
that relies on NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists and in our case
NODE_DATA(nid) is NULL.

To fix that, add the same checking as we already have in
find_and_online_cpu_nid(): if NODE_DATA() is NULL, use
the first online node.

Bug: https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/184
