I merged x86/mm with Linus' tree, it booted fine without numa=fake but
then panics with numa=fake=128M (and could only be captured by
earlyprintk):

That's this:

430 numa_distance_cnt = cnt;
431
432 /* fill with the default distances */
433 for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
434 for (j = 0; j < cnt; j++)
435 ===> numa_distance[i * cnt + j] = i == j ?
436 LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE;
437 printk(KERN_DEBUG "NUMA: Initialized distance table, cnt=%d\n", cnt);
438
439 return 0;

We're overflowing the array and it's easy to see why:

for_each_node_mask(i, nodes_parsed)
cnt = i;
size = ++cnt * sizeof(numa_distance[0]);

cnt is the highest node id parsed, so numa_distance[] must be cnt * cnt.
The following patch fixes the issue on top of x86/mm.

I'm running on a 64GB machine with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT == 10, so
numa=fake=128M would result in 512 nodes. That's going to require 2MB for
numa_distance (and that's not __initdata). Before these changes, we
calculated numa_distance() using pxms without this additional mapping, is
there any way to reduce this? (Admittedly real NUMA machines with 512
nodes wouldn't mind sacrificing 2MB, but we didn't need this before.)



x86, mm: Fix size of numa_distance array

numa_distance should be sized like the SLIT, an NxN matrix where N is the
highest node id. This patch fixes the calulcation to avoid overflowing
the array on the subsequent iteration.
