Subject: mm, compaction: fix wrong pfn handling in __reset_isolation_pfn()
Git-commit: a2e9a5afce080226edbf1882d63d99bf32070e9e
Patch-mainline: v5.5 or v5.4-rc4 (next release)
References: git-fixes (mm/compaction) bnc#1151927 5.3.8
Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn(). While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.
One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page. This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.
The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock. The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.
