commit 2bbcb8788311a40714b585fc11b51da6ffa2ab92 upstream. Stable note: Fixes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=721039 . Without the patch, memory hot-add can fail for kernel configurations that do not set CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. It is expected that memory being brought online is PageReserved similar to what happens when the page allocator is being brought up. Memory is onlined in "memory blocks" which consist of one or more sections. Unfortunately, the code that verifies PageReserved is currently assuming that the memmap backing all these pages is virtually contiguous which is only the case when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is set. This patch updates the PageReserved check to lookup struct page once per section to guarantee the correct struct page is being checked.
