mm/mm_init: handle alloc_percpu failure in free_area_init_core_hotplug
We miss a failed allocation check for pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats, which results in a NULL deref when we offset into the per-cpu area. Propagate -ENOMEM up the stack and leave per_cpu_nodestats pointing at boot_nodestats so a later online can retry the allocation. hotadd_init_pgdat() returns NULL on failure, which __try_online_node() already maps to -ENOMEM. On failure nothing needs to be unwound: - the node is never marked online - per_cpu_nodestats is left pointing at boot_nodestats - __add_memory_resource() cleans up pending memblock resources - later online attempts retry the per_cpu_nodestats allocation Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org> Link: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260627202243.758289-1-gourry%40gourry.net Fixes: 75ef71840539 ("mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats") Signed-off-by: Gregory Price <gourry@gourry.net> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260701221613.2818148-1-gourry@gourry.net Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org>
