There are three places where we access uninitialized memmaps, namely:
- /proc/kpagecount
- /proc/kpageflags
- /proc/kpagecgroup
We have initialized memmaps either when the section is online or when
the page was initialized to the ZONE_DEVICE. Uninitialized memmaps contain
garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.
For example, not onlining a DIMM during boot and calling /proc/kpagecount
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:
:/# cat /proc/kpagecount > tmp.test

For now, let's drop support for ZONE_DEVICE from the three pseudo files
in order to fix this. To distinguish offline memory (with garbage memmap)
from ZONE_DEVICE memory with properly initialized memmaps, we would have to
check get_dev_pagemap() and pfn_zone_device_reserved() right now. The usage
of both (especially, special casing devmem) is frowned upon and needs to
be reworked. The fundamental issue we have is:
if (pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) {
/* memmap initialized */
} else if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
/*
* ???
* a) offline memory. memmap garbage.
* b) devmem: memmap initialized to ZONE_DEVICE.
* c) devmem: reserved for driver. memmap garbage.
* (d) devmem: memmap currently initializing - garbage)
*/
}
We'll leave the pfn_zone_device_reserved() check in stable_page_flags()
in place as that function is also used from memory failure. We now
no longer dump information about pages that are not in use anymore -
offline.
