There is a kernel panic caused by pcpu_alloc_pages() passing
offlined and uninitialized node to alloc_pages_node() leading
to panic by NULL dereferencing uninitialized NODE_DATA(nid).

 CPU2 has been hot-added

Panic can be easily reproduced by disabling udev rule for
automatic onlining hot added CPU followed by CPU with
memoryless node (NUMA node with CPU only) hot add.

Hot adding CPU and memoryless node does not bring the node
to online state. Memoryless node will be onlined only during
the onlining its CPU.

Node can be in one of the following states:
1. not present.(nid == NUMA_NO_NODE)
2. present, but offline (nid > NUMA_NO_NODE, node_online(nid) == 0,
				NODE_DATA(nid) == NULL)
3. present and online (nid > NUMA_NO_NODE, node_online(nid) > 0,
				NODE_DATA(nid) != NULL)

Percpu code is doing allocations for all possible CPUs. The
issue happens when it serves hot added but not yet onlined
CPU when its node is in 2nd state. This node is not ready
to use, fallback to node_mem_id().

As raised by Michal, we could use cpu_to_mem() here instead of
cpu_to_node(). However, AFAIU, it's a pure optimization to avoid the
fallback path:

Documentation/vm/numa.rst:

"If the architecture supports--does not hide--memoryless nodes, then
CPUs attached to memoryless nodes would always incur the fallback path
overhead  or some subsystems would fail to initialize if they attempted
to allocated memory exclusively from a node without memory.  To support
such architectures transparently, kernel subsystems can use the
numa_mem_id() or cpu_to_mem() function to locate the "local memory node"
for the calling or specified CPU.  Again, this is the same node from
which default, local page allocations will be attempted."


The root issue here is that we're iterating possible CPUs (not online or
present CPUs), belonging to nodes that might not be online yet. I agree
that this fix, although sub-optimal, might be the right thing to do for
now. It would be different if we'd be iterating online CPUs.

I do agree that cpu_to_mem usage is better here. But I still think this
is papering over a deeper problem. We should never allow cpu_to_mem to
return an invalid numa node.
