The patch titled Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: handle unaligned start and nr_pages in online_pages_blocks() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory_hotplug-handle-unaligned-start-and-nr_pages-in-online_pages_blocks.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: handle unaligned start and nr_pages in online_pages_blocks() Take care of nr_pages not being a power of two and start not being properly aligned. Essentially, what walk_system_ram_range() could provide to us. get_order() will round-up in case it's not a power of two. This should only apply to memory blocks that contain strange memory resources (especially with holes), not to ordinary DIMMs. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190809125701.3316-3-david@xxxxxxxxxx Fixes: a9cd410a3d29 ("mm/page_alloc.c: memory hotplug: free pages as higher order") Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Arun KS <arunks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/memory_hotplug.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) --- a/mm/memory_hotplug.c~mm-memory_hotplug-handle-unaligned-start-and-nr_pages-in-online_pages_blocks +++ a/mm/memory_hotplug.c @@ -640,6 +640,10 @@ static int online_pages_blocks(unsigned while (start < end) { order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1, get_order(PFN_PHYS(end) - PFN_PHYS(start))); + /* make sure the PFN is aligned and we don't exceed the range */ + while (!IS_ALIGNED(start, 1ul << order) || + (1ul << order) > end - start) + order--; (*online_page_callback)(pfn_to_page(start), order); onlined_pages += (1UL << order); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from david@xxxxxxxxxx are mm-memory_hotplug-remove-move_pfn_range.patch drivers-base-nodec-simplify-unregister_memory_block_under_nodes.patch drivers-base-memoryc-fixup-documentation-of-removable-phys_index-block_size_bytes.patch driver-base-memoryc-validate-memory-block-size-early.patch mm-memory_hotplug-simplify-online_pages_range.patch mm-memory_hotplug-online_pages-cannot-be-0-in-online_pages.patch drivers-base-memoryc-dont-store-end_section_nr-in-memory-blocks.patch
