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 if this page
are set to default values and the page 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.
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);
because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link
in struct page) in the same pageblock.
Update init_unavailable_mem() to use zone constraints defined by an
architecture to properly setup the zone link and use node ID of the
adjacent range in memblock.memory to set the node link.

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.
