There are three places where we access uninitialized memmaps, namely:
- /proc/kpagecount
- /proc/kpageflags
- /proc/kpagecgroup
We have initialized memmaps either when the section is online or when the
page was initialized to the ZONE_DEVICE. Uninitialized memmaps contain
garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.
For example, not onlining a DIMM during boot and calling /proc/kpagecount
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:
:/# cat /proc/kpagecount > tmp.test
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

For now, let's drop support for ZONE_DEVICE from the three pseudo files
in order to fix this. To distinguish offline memory (with garbage
memmap) from ZONE_DEVICE memory with properly initialized memmaps, we
would have to check get_dev_pagemap() and pfn_zone_device_reserved()
right now. The usage of both (especially, special casing devmem) is
frowned upon and needs to be reworked.
The fundamental issue we have is:
if (pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) {
/* memmap initialized */
} else if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
/*
* ???
* a) offline memory. memmap garbage.
* b) devmem: memmap initialized to ZONE_DEVICE.
* c) devmem: reserved for driver. memmap garbage.
* (d) devmem: memmap currently initializing - garbage)
*/
}
We'll leave the pfn_zone_device_reserved() check in stable_page_flags()
in place as that function is also used from memory failure. We now no
longer dump information about pages that are not in use anymore -
offline.
