Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot # failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as # follows: # # Early memory node ranges # node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff] # node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff] # node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff] # node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff] # # This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is # also in node1. memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a # section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are # code paths (e.g. memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of # memory section is always initialized. # # In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and # most likely already managed by the page allocator. Scribbling over # those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of # those pages gets used. # # Reported-by: Robert Shteynfeld # Fixes: 2830bf6f05fb ("mm, memory_hotplug: initialize struct pages for the full memory section") # Cc: stable@kernel.org # Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 4aa9fc2a435abe95a1e8d7f8c7b3d6356514b37a # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- allnoconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile:38: MIPS VDSO requires binutils >= 2.25 /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:186:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] FIT description: Linux 5.0.0-rc4+ Created: Tue Jan 29 07:01:06 2019 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 5.0.0-rc4+ Created: Tue Jan 29 07:01:06 2019 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 624470 Bytes = 609.83 KiB = 0.60 MiB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x80215cc0 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: b93d92e18d7c36158538e3b8229c1300ad0c80a2 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips # Build took: 0:00:13.070313
