The patch titled
     Subject: fs/proc/page.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in fs/proc/page.c
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-dont-access-uninitialized-memmaps-in-fs-proc-pagec.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs/proc/page.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in fs/proc/page.c

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.
