The case of a new numa node got missed in avoiding using the node info from page_struct during hotplug. In this path we have a call to register_mem_sect_under_node (which allows us to specify it is hotplug so don't change the node), via link_mem_sections which unfortunately does not. Fix is to pass check_nid through link_mem_sections as well and disable it in the new numa node path. Note the bug only 'sometimes' manifests depending on what happens to be in the struct page structures - there are lots of them and it only needs to match one of them. The result of the bug is that (with a new memory only node) we never successfully call register_mem_sect_under_node so don't get the memory associated with the node in sysfs and meminfo for the node doesn't report it. It came up whilst testing some arm64 hotplug patches, but appears to be universal. Whilst I'm triggering it by removing then reinserting memory to a node with no other elements ...
