This messages is at ioresouce collision check. This says system has
memory resource between 400000000 - 46fffffff...before hotadd.
and sparse_add_one_seciton() returns -EEXIST if section exists.
==
int sparse_add_one_section(struct zone *zone, unsigned long start_pfn,
int nr_pages)
{
<snip>
if (ms->section_mem_map & SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT) {
ret = -EEXIST;
goto out;
}
}
==
Ah... but x86_64 special (not depends on sparsemem..) __add_pages() call doesn't
do sanity check at online_page().
Here.
==
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < start_pfn + nr_pages; pfn++) {
if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
online_page(pfn_to_page(pfn));
err = 0;
mem++;
}
==
So, panics ...maybe.
(System has memory between 40000000 - 46fffffff but it's onlined again)
Could you add sanity check in online_page() ?
==
if (PageReserved(page) {
online_page(pfn_to_page(pfn));
}
==
will be enough.
I don't have avaliable x86_64 box now.
