Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] base/memory, hotplug: fix a kernel oops in show_valid_zones()
Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following
oops when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160
This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory
since their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB. [1] An example
of such systems is desribed below. 0x3240000000 is only aligned by
1GiB and this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not
backed by struct page.
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable
Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue
by extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end'
for a given range. show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid
range.

large-memory x86-64 systems")'
