From a96dfddbcc04336bbed50dc2b24823e45e09e80c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 13:13:23 -0800 Subject: base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones() Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page. show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for page_zone(). BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160 This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB. [1] An example of such systems is desribed below. 0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by struct page. BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a given range. show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.
