[PATCH 4.4 12/68] mm, meminit: always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e4568d3803852d00effd41dcdd489e726b998879 upstream.

early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines that
has no node 0.  A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash with
the following message:

   BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a3c8

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs.  No caller of
early_pfn_to_nid cares except early_page_uninitialised.  This patch has
early_pfn_to_nid always return a valid node.
