Subject: [PATCH v1] hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:07:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191015120717.4858-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING. They should not get
touched.
Let's make sure that we only consider online memory (managed by the
buddy) that has initialized memmaps. ZONE_DEVICE is not applicable.
page_zone() will call page_to_nid(), which will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(PagePoisoned(page), page) with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING
and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS when called on uninitialized memmaps. This
can be the case when an offline memory block (e.g., never onlined) is
spanned by a zone.
Note: As explained by Michal in [1], alloc_contig_range() will verify
the range. So it boils down to the wrong access in this function.
