[PATCH] mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In move_freepages() a BUG_ON() can be triggered on uninitialized page structures
due to pageblock alignment. Aligning the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the
same way as in move_freepages_block() simply fixes those crashes.
