mm, memory_hotplug: test_pages_in_a_zone do not pass the end of zone
If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary, the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized. This may lead to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs handlers. Here are the the panic examples: CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y kernel parameter mem=2050M -------------------------- page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p)) Call Trace: test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160 show_valid_zones+0x5c/0x190 dev_attr_show+0x34/0x70 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xc8/0x148 seq_read+0x204/0x480 __vfs_read+0x32/0x178 vfs_read+0x82/0x138 ksys_read+0x5a/0xb0 system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 Last Breaking-Event-Address: test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.
