Subject: drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections
From: Russ Anderson <rja@xxxxxxx>
commit 21ea9f5ace3a7317cc3ba1fbc749758021a83136 upstream.
"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.
The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes
if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))
to blow up. Why is it passing in a bad pfn?
The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times. sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block. Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.
