[BUG -next] "random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly userspace programs" causes crash

[Heiko Carstens]

Hi Ted,

it looks like your patch "random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly
userspace programs" within linux-next seems to be a bit broken:

It causes this allocation failure and subsequent crash on s390 with fake
NUMA enabled:

To me it looks rand_initialize is broken with CONFIG_NUMA:

static int rand_initialize(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
	int i;
	int num_nodes = num_possible_nodes();
	struct crng_state *crng;
	struct crng_state **pool;
#endif

	init_std_data(&input_pool);
	init_std_data(&blocking_pool);
	crng_initialize(&primary_crng);

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
	pool = kmalloc(num_nodes * sizeof(void *),
		       GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOFAIL|__GFP_ZERO);
	for (i=0; i < num_nodes; i++) {
		crng = kmalloc_node(sizeof(struct crng_state),
				    GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL, i);
		spin_lock_init(&crng->lock);
		crng_initialize(crng);
		pool[i] = crng;

	}
	mb();
	crng_node_pool = pool;
#endif
	return 0;
}
early_initcall(rand_initialize);

First the for loop should use for_each_node() to skip not possible nodes,
no?

However that wouldn't be enough, since in this case it crashed because node
1 is in the possible map, but it isn't online and doesn't have any memory,
which explains why the allocation fails and the subsequent crash when
calling spin_lock_init().

I think the proper fix would be to simply use for_each_online_node(); at
least that fixes the crash on s390.
