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/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 4aa9fc2a435abe95a1e8d7f8c7b3d6356514b37a # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus-rand_randconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- randconfig KCONFIG_SEED=0x24B703C5 # Added to kconfig CONFIG_STANDALONE=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC64=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PPC_DISABLE_WERROR=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH=y # yes \n | make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus-rand_randconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- oldconfig yes: standard output: Broken pipe # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus-rand_randconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/io.h:25:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/of_address.h:7, from /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:18: /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c: In function 'ahci_qoriq_hardreset': /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:145:2: warning: 'px_is' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] __asm__ __volatile__("sync;"#insn"%U0%X0 %1,%0" \ ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:86:14: note: 'px_is' was declared here u32 px_cmd, px_is, px_val; ^ In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/io.h:25:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/of_address.h:7, from /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:18: /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:145:2: warning: 'px_cmd' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] __asm__ __volatile__("sync;"#insn"%U0%X0 %1,%0" \ ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:86:6: note: 'px_cmd' was declared here u32 px_cmd, px_is, px_val; ^ WARNING: modpost: Found 3 section mismatch(es).
