[ Upstream commit ac1788cc7da4ce54edcfd2e499afdb0a23d5c41d ]
With commit 2ea626306810 ("powerpc/topology: Get topology for shared processors at boot"), kdump kernel on shared LPAR may crash.
The necessary conditions are - Shared LPAR with at least 2 nodes having memory and CPUs. - Memory requirement for kdump kernel must be met by the first N-1 nodes where there are at least N nodes with memory and CPUs.
Example numactl of such a machine. $ numactl -H available: 5 nodes (0,2,5-7) node 0 cpus: node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 255 MB node 2 free: 189 MB node 5 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 node 5 size: 4095 MB node 5 free: 4024 MB node 6 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 node 6 size: 6353 MB node 6 free: 5998 MB node 7 cpus: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 node 7 size: 7640 MB node 7 free: 7164 MB node distances: node 0 2 5 6 7 0: 10 40 40 40 40 2: 40 10 40 40 40 5: 40 40 10 40 40 6: 40 40 40 10 20 7: 40 40 40 20 10
Steps to reproduce. 1. Load / start kdump service. 2. Trigger a kdump (for example : echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger)
When booting a kdump kernel with 2048M:

However a regular kernel with 4096M (2048 gets reserved for crash kernel) boots properly.
Unlike regular kernels, which mark all available nodes as online, kdump kernel only marks just enough nodes as online and marks the rest as offline at boot. However kdump kernel boots with all available CPUs. With Commit 2ea626306810 ("powerpc/topology: Get topology for shared processors at boot"), all CPUs are onlined on their respective nodes at boot time. try_online_node() tries to online the offline nodes but fails as all needed subsystems are not yet initialized.
As part of fix, detect and skip early onlining of a offline node.
