@Qian Cai, unfortunately I can't reproduce.

If you get the chance, it would be great if you could retry with

diff --git a/drivers/base/memory.c b/drivers/base/memory.c
index 972c5336bebf..742f99ddd148 100644
--- a/drivers/base/memory.c
+++ b/drivers/base/memory.c
@@ -868,6 +868,9 @@ int walk_memory_blocks(unsigned long start, unsigned
long size,
        unsigned long block_id;
        int ret = 0;

+       if (!size)
+               return;
+
        for (block_id = start_block_id; block_id <= end_block_id;
block_id++) {
                mem = find_memory_block_by_id(block_id);
                if (!mem)



If both, start and size are 0, we would get a veeeery long loop. This
would mean that we have an online node that does not span any pages at
all (pgdat->node_start_pfn = 0, start_pfn + pgdat->node_spanned_pages = 0).
