I got below kernel panic during kdump test on Thinkpad T420 laptop:

This is caused by writing over end of numa mask bitmap.

numa_clear_kernel_node try to set node id in a mask bitmap, it iterating all
reserved region and assume every regions have valid nid. It is not true because
There's an exception for some graphic memory quirks.
See function trim_snb_memory in arch/x86/kernel/setup.c

It is easily to reproduce the bug in kdump kernel because kdump kernel use
pre-reserved memory instead of whole memory, but kexec pass other reserved
memory ranges to 2nd kernel as well. like below in my test:

kdump kernel ram 0x2d000000 - 0x37bfffff
One of the reserved regions: 0x40000000 - 0x40100000 which includes 0x40004000,
a page excluded in trim_snb_memory. For this memblock reserved region the nid
is not set, it is still default value MAX_NUMNODES. later node_set will set bit
MAX_NUMNODES thus stack corruption happen.

This also happens when booting with mem= kernel commandline during my test.

Fixing it by adding a check, do not call node_set in case nid is MAX_NUMNODES.
