Alistair Popple 2efe956a74 mm/pages_alloc.c: don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node
commit ddbc84f3f595cf1fc8234a191193b5d20ad43938 upstream.

ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node.  Its starting pfn
is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.  It is possible for the remaining
memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is
not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.

Unfortunately this condition is not checked for.  This leads to
zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a
node.

calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater
than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents
the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.

Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of
size zero with present pages.  In this case it will skip setting up the
zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].

However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has
memory available.  This is used by iterators such as
walk_zones_in_node().  pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the
free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised
due to the zone not being empty.

As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results
in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

Fix this by checking that the aligned zone_movable_pfn[] does not exceed
the end of the node, and if it does skip creating a movable zone on this
node.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
