[PATCH] x86/NUMA: don't pass MAX_NUMNODES to memblock_set_node()
From: Jan Beulich
Date: Wed May 29 2024 - 03:43:08 EST
On an (old) x86 system with SRAT just covering space above 4Gb:
ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0xfffffffff] hotplug
the commit referenced below leads to this NUMA configuration no longer
being refused by a CONFIG_NUMA=y kernel (previously
NUMA: nodes only cover 6144MB of your 8185MB e820 RAM. Not used.
No NUMA configuration found
Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000027fffffff]
was seen in the log directly after the message quoted above), because of
memblock_validate_numa_coverage() checking for NUMA_NO_NODE (only). This
in turn led to memblock_alloc_range_nid()'s warning about MAX_NUMNODES
triggering, followed by a NULL deref in memmap_init() when trying to
access node 64's (NODE_SHIFT=6) node data.
To compensate said change, avoid passing MAX_NUMNODES to
memblock_set_node(). In turn numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug()'s check
then also needs adjusting.
Fixes: ff6c3d81f2e8 ("NUMA: optimize detection of memory with no node id assigned by firmware")

This still leaves MAX_NUMNODES uses in various other places in
mm/memblock.c. Interestingly
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20170309034415.GA16588@WeideMacBook-Pro.local/T/#t
was a more complete patch which, for an unclear reason, looks to never
have made it anywhere.
