The patch titled Subject: hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hugetlbfs-dont-access-uninitialized-memmaps-in-pfn_range_valid_gigantic.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand david@redhat.com Subject: hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()
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.
