    mm/memory_hotplug.c: update start_pfn in zone and pg_data when spanned_pages == 0. · 712cd386
    Tang Chen 提交于
    If we hot-remove memory only and leave the cpus alive, the corresponding
    node will not be removed.  But the node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages
    in pg_data will be reset to 0.  In this case, when we hot-add the memory
    back next time, the node_start_pfn will always be 0 because no pfn is less
    than 0.  After that, if we hot-remove the memory again, it will cause
    kernel panic in function find_biggest_section_pfn() when it tries to scan
    all the pfns.
    
    The zone will also have the same problem.
    
    This patch sets start_pfn to the start_pfn of the section being added when
    spanned_pages of the zone or pg_data is 0.
    
      ---How to reproduce---
    
    1. hot-add a container with some memory and cpus;
    2. hot-remove the container's memory, and leave cpus there;
    3. hot-add these memory again;
    4. hot-remove them again;
    
    then, the kernel will panic.
