From d021563888312018ca65681096f62e36c20e63cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 14:34:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Ensure that pfn_valid() is called once per pageblock when reserving pageblocks setup_zone_migrate_reserve() expects that zone->start_pfn starts at pageblock_nr_pages aligned pfn otherwise we could access beyond an existing memblock resulting in the following panic if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not configured and we do not check pfn_valid: IP: [] setup_zone_migrate_reserve+0xcd/0x180 *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = f000ff53f000ff53 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.7-0.7-pae #1 VMware, Inc.

The issue was introduced in 3.0-rc1 by 6d3163ce ("mm: check if any page in a pageblock is reserved before marking it MIGRATE_RESERVE"). Make sure that start_pfn is always aligned to pageblock_nr_pages to ensure that pfn_valid s always called at the start of each pageblock. Architectures with holes in pageblocks will be correctly handled by pfn_valid_within in pageblock_is_reserved.
