[Regression] 2.6.33-rc2 - pci: Commit e0cd516 causes OOPS

[David John]

Hi All,

Commit e0cd516 causes an null pointer dereference when reading from the
sysfs attributes local_cpu* on Intel machines with no ACPI NUMA
proximity info, since dev->numa_node gets set to -1 for all PCI devices,
which then gets passed to cpumask_of_node.

The patch following this mail fixes the problem for x86. Perhaps a more
thorough solution would be to fix the PCI layer to set the node
information for devices to zero rather than -1 (Since if CONFIG_NUMA=y
we have node 0)? I don't know whether it is safe / correct to do this.

Regards,
David.
