[PATCH v1 1/3] mm/shuffle: don't move pages between zones and don't read garbage memmaps

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

Especially with memory hotplug, we can have offline sections (with a
garbage memmap) and overlapping zones. We have to make sure to only
touch initialized memmaps (online sections managed by the buddy) and that
the zone matches, to not move pages between zones.

To test if this can actually happen, I added a simple
	BUG_ON(page_zone(page_i) != page_zone(page_j));
right before the swap. When hotplugging a 256M DIMM to a 4G x86-64 VM and
onlining the first memory block "online_movable" and the second memory
block "online_kernel", it will trigger the BUG, as both zones (NORMAL
and MOVABLE) overlap.

This might result in all kinds of weird situations (e.g., double
allocations, list corruptions, unmovable allocations ending up in the
movable zone).
