Muchun Song 6ebbd46d2e mm: sparsemem: fix missing higher order allocation splitting
commit 39d35edee4 upstream.

Higher order allocations for vmemmap pages from buddy allocator must be
able to be treated as indepdenent small pages as they can be freed
individually by the caller.  There is no problem for higher order vmemmap
pages allocated at boot time since each individual small page will be
initialized at boot time.  However, it will be an issue for memory hotplug
case since those higher order vmemmap pages are allocated from buddy
allocator without initializing each individual small page's refcount.  The
system will panic in put_page_testzero() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled
if the vmemmap page is freed.

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.
