I don't think we want every caller of kzalloc_node() to have check for node_online(). Why would memory on an off-line node even be in the allocation pool? I wouldn't expect that memory to be put in the pool until the node comes online and the memory is accessible, so this sounds like some kind of setup issue.

Hmm, but this is not a memory-less node. It sounds like a misconfigured kernel to me or the broken initialization. Each CPU should have a fallback numa node to be used. > > I triggered this BUG on arm64 platform, and I found a similar bug has > > been fixed on x86 platform.

Well, the standard way to handle memory less NUMA nodes is to simply fallback to the closest NUMA node. We even have an API for that (numa_mem_id). > > From b755de8dfdfef97effaa91379ffafcb81f4d62a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > > From: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai.Lu@Sun.COM> > > Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:41:52 -0800 > > Subject: [PATCH] x86: make dev_to_node return online node > > > > a numa system (with multi HT chains) may return node without ram.
