The patch titled Subject: mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_owner-dont-access-uninitialized-memmaps-when-reading-proc-pagetypeinfo.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Qian Cai cai@lca.pw Subject: mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING. They should not get touched.
For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG:
:/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file [ 42.489856] page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned [ 42.489861] raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff [ 42.492235] raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff [ 42.493501] page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p)) [ 42.494533] There is not page extension available.

Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).
