commit be21b32afe470c5ae98e27e49201158a47032942 upstream.
Depending on the memory configuration, isolate_freepages_block() may scan pages out of the target range and causes panic.
Panic can occur on systems with multiple zones in a single pageblock.
The reason it is rare is that it only happens in special configurations. Depending on how many similar systems there are, it may be a good idea to fix this problem for older kernels as well.
The problem is that pfn as argument of fast_isolate_around() could be out of the target range. Therefore we should consider the case where pfn < start_pfn, and also the case where end_pfn < pfn.
This problem should have been addressd by the commit 6e2b7044c199 ("mm, compaction: make fast_isolate_freepages() stay within zone") but there was an oversight.
Case1: pfn < start_pfn
<at memory compaction for node Y> | node X's zone | node Y's zone +-----------------+------------------------------... pageblock ^ ^ ^ +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ end_pfn ^ start_pfn = cc->zone->zone_start_pfn pfn <---------> scanned range by "Scan After"
Case2: end_pfn < pfn
<at memory compaction for node X> | node X's zone | node Y's zone +-----------------+------------------------------... pageblock ^ ^ ^ +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ pfn ^ end_pfn start_pfn <---------> scanned range by "Scan Before"
It seems that there is no good reason to skip nr_isolated pages just after given pfn. So let perform simple scan from start to end instead of dividing the scan into "Before" and "After".
