From f165b378bbdf6c8afd950060fc3cbc935bb890c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Tatashin Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 16:22:47 -0700 Subject: mm: uninitialized struct page poisoning sanity checking During boot we poison struct page memory in order to ensure that no one is accessing this memory until the struct pages are initialized in __init_single_page(). This patch adds more scrutiny to this checking by making sure that flags do not equal the poison pattern when they are accessed. The pattern is all ones. Since node id is also stored in struct page, and may be accessed quite early, we add this enforcement into page_to_nid() function as well. Note, this is applicable only when NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS=n [pasha.tatashin@oracle.com: v4] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180215165920.8570-4-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180213193159.14606-4-pasha.tatashin@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Baoquan He Cc: Bharata B Rao Cc: Daniel Jordan Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: "H.
