Subject: [PATCH] [BUGFIX] drivers/base: fix show_mem_removable section count
"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.
The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes
if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page))) to blow up.
Why is it passing in a bad pfn?
show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block times.
sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8
for this memory block. Changing to loop the actual number
of sections (mem->section_count) fixes the problem.
The assumption that all memory blocks will have the same
sections_per_block is not always true.
I suspect other usages of sections_per_block will also
need to be fixed.
