Subject: [patch 01/26] drivers/base/memory.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in soft_offline_page_store()
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 20:19:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191019031916.Ux-StDx4F%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
Subject: drivers/base/memory.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in soft_offline_page_store()
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel
BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING. They should not get touched.
Right now, when trying to soft-offline a PFN that resides on a memory
block that was never onlined, one gets a misleading error with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:
:/# echo 5637144576 > /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page
[ 23.097167] soft offline: 0x150000 page already poisoned
But the actual result depends on the garbage in the memmap.
soft_offline_page() can only work with online pages, it returns -EIO in
case of ZONE_DEVICE. Make sure to only forward pages that are online
(iow, managed by the buddy) and, therefore, have an initialized memmap.
Add a check against pfn_to_online_page() and similarly return -EIO.
