Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] mm: fix uninitialized memmaps on a partially populated last section
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 18:48:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191209174836.11063-2-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191209174836.11063-1-david@redhat.com>
If max_pfn is not aligned to a section boundary, we can easily run into
BUGs. This can e.g., be triggered on x86-64 under QEMU by specifying a
memory size that is not a multiple of 128MB (e.g., 4097MB, but also
4160MB). I was told that on real HW, we can easily have this scenario
(esp., one of the main reasons sub-section hotadd of devmem was added).
The issue is, that we have a valid memmap (pfn_valid()) for the
whole section, and the whole section will be marked "online".
pfn_to_online_page() will succeed, but the memmap contains garbage.
E.g., doing a "cat /proc/kpageflags > /dev/null" results in

This patch fixes that by at least zero-ing out that memmap (so e.g.,
page_to_pfn() will not crash). Commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining
unavailable struct pages") tried to fix a similar issue, but forgot to
consider this special case.
After this patch, there are still problems to solve. E.g., not all of these
pages falling into a memory hole will actually get initialized later
and set PageReserved - they are only zeroed out - but at least the
immediate crashes are gone. A follow-up patch will take care of this.
Fixes: f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap")
