From 780635a25cd38a1fc47f0fba533aaa9b8b832ee2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Jennings Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:40:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/base/memory.c: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with missing sections Commit 072a703ba0a3 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems") and 102b5ebcf3cc ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously, there was a only every one section per block. Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to deal with this. This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing blocks with non-present sections to be offlined.
