[PATCH 02/34] mm: memory hotplug: Check if pages are correctly reserved on a per-section basis

[Mel Gorman]

commit 2bbcb8788311a40714b585fc11b51da6ffa2ab92 upstream.

Stable note: Fixes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=721039 .
	Without the patch, memory hot-add can fail for kernel configurations
	that do not set CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

It is expected that memory being brought online is PageReserved
similar to what happens when the page allocator is being brought up.
Memory is onlined in "memory blocks" which consist of one or more
sections. Unfortunately, the code that verifies PageReserved is
currently assuming that the memmap backing all these pages is virtually
contiguous which is only the case when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set.

This patch updates the PageReserved check to lookup struct page once per
section to guarantee the correct struct page is being checked.
