The NUMA code may get confused by the presence of NOMAP regions within zones, resulting in spurious BUG() checks where the node id deviates from the containing zone's node id. Since the kernel has no business reasoning about node ids of pages it does not own in the first place, enable CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE to ensure that such pages are disregarded.

I would rather see a solution other than making pfn_valid checks more fine grained, but this patch also fixes the issue. So: Acked-by: Robert Richter <redacted>
