Mike Rapoport 4c84191cbc mm/page_alloc.c: refactor initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout 
commit 0740a50b9b upstream.

There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory.
This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of
SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.

Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function
that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a
struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields of this page are set to
default values and it is marked as Reserved.

init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.

Before commit 73a6e474cb ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock
regions rather that check each PFN") the holes inside a zone were
re-initialized during memmap_init() and got their zone/node links right.
However, after that commit nothing updates the struct pages representing
such holes.

On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for
instance in a configuration below:

	# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
	7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
	7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM

unset zone link in struct page will trigger

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);

in set_pfnblock_flags_mask() when called with a struct page from a range
other than E820_TYPE_RAM because there are pages in the range of
ZONE_DMA32 but the unset zone link in struct page makes them appear as a
part of ZONE_DMA.

Interleave initialization of the unavailable pages with the normal
initialization of memory map, so that zone and node information will be
properly set on struct pages that are not backed by the actual memory.

With this change the pages for holes inside a zone will get proper
zone/node links and the pages that are not spanned by any node will get
links to the adjacent zone/node.  The holes between nodes will be
prepended to the zone/node above the hole and the trailing pages in the
last section that will be appended to the zone/node below.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
