HI all, I think there is a bug in function move_freepages_block. 981 int move_freepages_block(struct zone *zone, struct page *page, ... 987 start_pfn = page_to_pfn(page); 988 start_pfn = start_pfn & ~(pageblock_nr_pages-1); 989 start_page = pfn_to_page(start_pfn); 990 end_page = start_page + pageblock_nr_pages - 1; 991 end_pfn = start_pfn + pageblock_nr_pages - 1; 992 993 /* Do not cross zone boundaries */ 994 if (!zone_spans_pfn(zone, start_pfn)) 995 start_page = page; The line 988 will align start_pfn with pageblock_nr_pages, thus after line988, start_pfn maybe less than zone->pageblock_nr_pages, in the worst case, start_pfn maybe outof the range of zone->node pfn. and becomes a invalid pfn. in this case, line 989 will be wrong. so I think the check for start_pfn should be done before line 989, just like: start_pfn = start_pfn & ~(pageblock_nr_pages-1); <== line 988 if (!zone_spans_pfn(zone, start_pfn)) start_pfn = page_to_pfn(page); Regards, Martin
