| |
This commit fixes the problem for the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID=y.
VM subsystem insists that memmap entries within the align to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES must exist and be initialized.
However, in the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID=y, the kernel only initializes the entries corresponding to the memory regions specified by "mem=" options. This causes "kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:777!" This BUG message comes from the following BUG_ON() line in move_freepages().
BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
