Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:35:49 +0200 From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org, Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>, Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>, Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>, Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>, Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz> Subject: [PATCH mmotm 2/3] mm, compaction: fix crash in get_pfnblock_flags_mask() from isolate_freepages(): In isolate_freepages(), low_pfn was mistakenly initialized to pageblock_start_pfn() instead of pageblock_end_pfn(), creating a possible underflow, as described by Hugh: There's a case when that "block_start_pfn -= pageblock_nr_pages" loop can pass through 0 and end up trying to access a pageblock before the start of the mem_map[].
