The patch titled Subject: mm/pages_alloc.c: don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-pages_allocc-dont-create-zone_movable-beyond-the-end-of-a-node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Alistair Popple apopple@nvidia.com Subject: mm/pages_alloc.c: don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node
ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. Its starting pfn is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.
Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a node.
calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.
Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].
However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has memory available. This is used by iterators such as walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised due to the zone not being empty. As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

Fix this by checking that the aligned zone_movable_pfn[] does not exceed the end of the node, and if it does skip creating a movable zone on this node.
