[PATCH 4.4 56/58] mm: dont dereference struct page fields of invalid pages
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Aug 09 2017 - 15:44:56 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f073bdc51771f5a5c7a8d1191bfc3ae371d44de7 ]
The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of
a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this before
having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct
page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be
the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y.
So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.
