[PATCH 4.14 027/496] kasan: fix memory hotplug during boot
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 09:48:28 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3f1959721558a976aaf9c2024d5bc884e6411bf7 upstream.
Using module_init() is wrong. E.g. ACPI adds and onlines memory before
our memory notifier gets registered.
This makes sure that ACPI memory detected during boot up will not result
in a kernel crash.
Easily reproducible with QEMU, just specify a DIMM when starting up.
