Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm, memory_hotplug: test_pages_in_a_zone do not pass the end of zone
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:45:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190128144506.15603-3-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190128144506.15603-1-mhocko@kernel.org>
From: Mikhail Zaslonko <zaslonko@linux.ibm.com>
If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary, the
mapping of such a section is only partly initialized. This may lead to
VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from test_pages_in_a_zone()
function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs handlers.
Here are the the panic examples:
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y
kernel parameter mem=2050M
--------------------------
page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
Call Trace:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.
