mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone()
commit deb88a2a19e85842d79ba96b05031739ec327ff4 upstream.
Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.
A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory. [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e. a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops. This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory. This patch-set fixes this issue.
Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.
Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).
Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9. However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887f4de ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.
So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.
[1] 'Commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
large-memory x86-64 systems")'
This patch (of 2):
test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.
Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.
Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.
