Per-cpu numa_node provides a default node for each possible cpu. The
association gets initialized during the boot when the architecture
specific code explores cpu->NUMA affinity. When the whole NUMA node is
removed though we are clearing this association

try_offline_node
  check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node
    unmap_cpu_on_node
      numa_clear_node
        numa_set_node(cpu, NUMA_NO_NODE)

This means that whoever calls cpu_to_node for a cpu associated with such
a node will get NUMA_NO_NODE. This is problematic for two reasons. First
it is fragile because __alloc_pages_node would simply blow up on an
out-of-bound access. We have encountered this when loading kvm module

on an older kernel but the code is basically the same in the current
Linus tree as well. alloc_vmcs_cpu could use alloc_pages_nodemask which
would recognize NUMA_NO_NODE and use alloc_pages_node which would translate
it to numa_mem_id but that is wrong as well because it would use a cpu
affinity of the local CPU which might be quite far from the original node.
It is also reasonable to expect that cpu_to_node will provide a sane value
and there might be many more callers like that.

The second problem is that __register_one_node relies on cpu_to_node
to properly associate cpus back to the node when it is onlined. We do
not want to lose that link as there is no arch independent way to get it
from the early boot time AFAICS.

Drop the whole check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node machinery and keep the
association to fix both issues. The NODE_DATA(nid) is not deallocated
so it will stay in place and if anybody wants to allocate from that node
then a fallback node will be used.

Thanks to Vlastimil Babka for his live system debugging skills that
helped debugging the issue.

Hi,
please note that I am sending this as an RFC even though this has been
confirmed to fix the oops in kvm_intel module because I cannot simply
tell that there are no other side effect that I do not see from the code
reading. I would appreciate some background from people who have
introduced this code e13fe8695c57 ("cpu-hotplug,memory-hotplug: clear
cpu_to_node() when offlining the node") because the changelog doesn't
really explain the motivation much.

But then the original node is getting/already off-lined. The allocation is
going to come from a different node. alloc_pages_node() at least steer the
allocation alway from VM_BUG_ON() because of NUMA_NO_NODE by replacing it
with numa_mem_id().

If node fallback order is important for this allocation then could not it
use __alloc_pages_nodemask() directly giving preference for its zonelist
node and nodemask. Just curious.

AFAICS there are two choices here. Either mark them NUMA_NO_NODE for all
cpus of a node going offline or keep the existing mapping in case the node
comes back again.

Retaining the links seems to be right unless unmap_cpu_on_node() is sort
of a weak callback letting arch to decide.

Though retaining the link is a problem in itself but the allocation related
crash could be solved by exploring __alloc_pages_nodemask() options.

Right, NODE_DATA(nid) is an advantage of retaining the link.

How does the caller get the right node to allocate from? We do have the
proper zone list for the offline node so why not use it?

Or update the mapping to the closeses node. I have chosen to keep the
mapping because it is the easiest and the most natural one.

Yes that is the case but this looks like a very fragile fix to me. If
you are getting a node number from cpu_to_node then you shouldn't really
think about obscurities like which allocation function to use, right?
You should just get a valid node number.

Do you see any problems with the patch as is?

I get your point. NODE_DATA() for the off lined node is still around and
so does the proper zone list for allocation, so why the caller should work
around the problem by building it's preferred nodemask_t etc. No problem,
I was just curious.

Probably not worth it for the caller.

No, this patch does remove an erroneous node-cpu map update which help solve
a real crash.

I thought I've made it cler in the changelog. If not, I am open to
suggestions on how to make it more clear.

It seems there were no objections here. So can we have it in linux-next
for a wider testing a possibly target the next merge window?
