Subject: [PATCH] memremap: Fix NULL pointer BUG in get_zone_device_page()
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 12:43:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471977800-12688-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com> (raw)
The following BUG was observed while starting up KVM with nvdimm
device as memory-backend-file to /dev/dax.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
IP: [<ffffffff811ac851>] get_zone_device_page+0x11/0x30

devm_memremap_pages() calls for_each_device_pfn() to walk through
all pfns in page_map. pfn_first(), however, returns a wrong pfn
that leaves page->pgmap uninitialized.
Since arch_add_memory() has set up direct mappings to the NVDIMM
range with altmap, pfn_first() should not modify the start pfn.
Change pfn_first() to simply return pfn of res->start.
