[PATCH v4 1/8] mm/memory_hotplug: Don't access uninitialized memmaps in shrink_pgdat_span()

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Fri Aug 30 2019 - 05:14:48 EST


We might use the nid of memmaps that were never initialized. For
example, if the memmap was poisoned, we will crash the kernel in
pfn_to_nid() right now. Let's use the calculated boundaries of the separate
zones instead. This now also avoids having to iterate over a whole bunch of
subsections again, after shrinking one zone.

Before commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory
hotplug"), the memmap was initialized to 0 and the node was set to the
right value. After that commit, the node might be garbage.

We'll have to fix shrink_zone_span() next.
