Subject: [PATCH] sched/isolation: Postpone re-allocation of housekeeping cpumask until initcall
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:27:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410192749.3511778-1-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
When testing a linux-next kernel with commit 59bd1d914bb5 ("memblock:
warn when freeing reserved memory before memory map is initialized"),
the following warning was hit when there was a "nohz_full" kernel boot
parameter.
[ 0.080911] Cannot free reserved memory because of deferred initialization of the memory map
[ 0.080911] WARNING: mm/memblock.c:904 at __free_reserved_area+0xde/0xf0, CPU#0: swapper/0/0

IOW, we shouldn't free memblock allocated memory so early in
the boot process when memory map isn't fully initialized in
deferred_init_memmap(). Fix it by adding a new housekeeping_late_init()
helper to defer the re-allocation of the housekeeping cpumasks to when
initcall's are being processed.
Fixes: 27c3a5967f05 ("sched/isolation: Convert housekeeping cpumasks to rcu pointers")
