[PATCH 6.12 112/160] mm/page_alloc: dont call pfn_to_page() on possibly non-existent PFN in split_large_buddy()

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

 



6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit faeec8e23c10bd30e8aa759a2eb3018dae00f924 upstream.

In split_large_buddy(), we might call pfn_to_page() on a PFN that might
not exist.  In corner cases, such as when freeing the highest pageblock in
the last memory section, this could result with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM &&
!CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME in __pfn_to_section() returning NULL and and
__section_mem_map_addr() dereferencing that NULL pointer.

Let's fix it, and avoid doing a pfn_to_page() call for the first
iteration, where we already have the page.

So far this was found by code inspection, but let's just CC stable as the
fix is easy.
