Otherwise, this fix looks good to > me. With SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled, we should do validation check on ms->usage before checking any subsection is valid. Since now we do have case in which ms->usage is released, people still try to check it. diff --git a/include/linux/mmzone.h b/include/linux/mmzone.h index f0a2c184eb9a..d79bd938852e 100644 --- a/include/linux/mmzone.h +++ b/include/linux/mmzone.h @@ -1306,6 +1306,8 @@ static inline int pfn_section_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn) { int idx = subsection_map_index(pfn); + if (!ms->usage) + return 0; return test_bit(idx, ms->usage->subsection_map); } #else
