------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Rapoport rppt@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm: memblock: enforce overlap of memory.memblock and memory.reserved
Patch series "mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout", v2.
Commit 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") exposed several issues with the memory map initialization and these patches fix those issues.
Initially there were crashes during compaction that Qian Cai reported back in April [1]. It seemed back then that the probelm was fixed, but a few weeks ago Andrea Arcangeli hit the same bug [2] and after a long discussion between us [3] I think these patches are the proper fix.

This patch (of 2):
memblock does not require that the reserved memory ranges will be a subset of memblock.memory.
As a result there may be reserved pages that are not in the range of any zone or node because zone and node boundaries are detected based on memblock.memory and pages that only present in memblock.reserved are not taken into account during zone/node size detection.
Make sure that all ranges in memblock.reserved are added to memblock.memory before calculating node and zone boundaries.
