Subject: memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap.
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>
Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype() returns
also random stuff and therefore
list_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456
("mm: fix usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock
bitmap gets only initialized for pages present in a zone.
Unfortunately for hot-added memory the zones "grow" after the memmap
and the pageblock memmap have been initialized. Which means that the
new pages have an unitialized bitmap.
To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span() are
moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.
