I didn=E2=80=99t know that repro steps are still not clear.

To reproduce the panic you need to have a system, where you can hot add
the CPU that belongs to memoryless NUMA node which is not present and =
onlined
yet. In other words, by hot adding CPU, you will add both CPU and NUMA =
node
at the same time.
I=E2=80=99m using VMware hypervisor and linux VM there configured in a =
way
that every (possible) CPU has its own NUMA node.
Before doing CPU hot add, udev rule for CPU onlining should be disabled.
After CPU hot add event, panic will be triggered shortly right on the =
next
percpu allocation.

Let me know if this is enough or you need some extra information.

Thanks,
=E2=80=94Alexey
