From 4a5fa3590f09999f6db41bc386bce40848fa9f63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:29:36 -0500 Subject: [PARISC] slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEM Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k, mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users reporting these panics.
