[PATCH] mm: fixup validation of buddy pfn

From: Xianting Tian
Date: Mon Jun 20 2022 - 23:11:40 EST


For RISC-V arch the first 2MB RAM could be reserved for opensbi,
and the arch code may don't create pages for the first 2MB RAM,
so it would have pfn_base=512 and mem_map began with 512th PFN when
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y.

But __find_buddy_pfn algorithm thinks the start PFN 0, it could get
0 PFN or less than the pfn_base value, so page_is_buddy() can't
verify the page whose PFN is 0 ~ 511, actually we don't have valid
pages for PFN 0 ~ 511.

Actually, buddy system should not assume Arch cretaed pages for
reserved memory, Arch may don't know the implied limitation.
With this patch, we can gurantee a valid buddy no matter what we
have pages for reserved memory or not.

Fixes: 8170ac4700d26f65 ("mm: wrap __find_buddy_pfn() with a necessary buddy page validation")
