[ Upstream commit46e66dab85] memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument. IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As, memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone. which might cause these condition to behave differently, This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone ... if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages)) goto kernel_zone; ... kernel_zone: return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages); Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe). ... static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn, unsigned long nr_pages) { struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); int zid; for (zid = 0; zid < ZONE_NORMAL; zid++) { struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[zid]; if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages)) return zone; } return &pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL]; } Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
