    mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo · a26ee565
    Qian Cai authored
    Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
    kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
    touched.
    
    For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone
    and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and
    CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG:
    
      :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online
      :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online
      :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file
       page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned
       raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
       raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
       page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
       There is not page extension available.
       ------------[ cut here ]------------
       kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1107!
       invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
    
    Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because
    pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from
    mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and
    ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).
