When we remove an early section, we don't free the usage map, as the usage maps of other sections are placed into the same page. Once the section is removed, it is no longer an early section (especially, the memmap is freed). When we re-add that section, the usage map is reused, however, it is no longer an early section. When removing that section again, we try to kfree() a usage map that was allocated during early boot - bad. Let's check against PageReserved() to see if we are dealing with an usage map that was allocated during boot. We could also check against !(PageSlab(usage_page) || PageCompound(usage_page)), but PageReserved() is cleaner. Can be triggered using memtrace under ppc64/powernv: $ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ $ echo 0x20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable $ echo 0x20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3969!

The second invocation will first add+online them again, in order to offline+remove them again (usually we are lucky and the exact same memory blocks will get "reallocated"). Tested on powernv with boot memory: The usage map will not get freed. Tested on x86-64 with DIMMs: The usage map will get freed. Using Dynamic Memory under a Power DLAPR can trigger it easily. Triggering removal (I assume after previously removed+re-added) of memory from the HMC GUI can crash the kernel with the same call trace and is fixed by this patch.
