In register_mem_sect_under_node() the system_state’s value is checked to detect whether the call is made during boot time or during an hot-plug operation. Unfortunately, that check against SYSTEM_BOOTING is wrong because regular memory is registered at SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state. In addition, memory hot-plug operation can be triggered at this system state by the ACPI [1]. So checking against the system state is not enough. The consequence is that on system with interleaved node's ranges like this: Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff] This can be seen on PowerPC LPAR after multiple memory hot-plug and hot-unplug operations are done. At the next reboot the node's memory ranges can be interleaved and since the call to link_mem_sections() is made in topology_init() while the system is in the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state, the node's id is not checked, and the sections registered to multiple nodes: $ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21/node* total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 In that case, the system is able to boot but if later one of theses memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the sysfs inconsistency is detected and this is triggering a BUG_ON(): ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /Users/laurent/src/linux-ppc/mm/memory_hotplug.c:1084!

An extra parameter is added to link_mem_sections() detailing whether the operation is due to a hot-plug operation.
