PATCH RESEND v2 1/1 mm/sparsemem: pfn_to_page is not valid yet on SPARSEMEM

From: Wei Yang <[email protected]>

When we use SPARSEMEM instead of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, pfn_to_page() doesn't work before sparse_init_one_section() is called. This leads to a crash when hotplug memory:

When we use SPARSEMEM instead of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, pfn_to_page() doesn't work before sparse_init_one_section() is called. This leads to a crash when hotplug memory:

I'd also add:

"On x86 the impact is limited to x86_32 builds, or x86_64 configurations that override the default setting for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP".

'When we use SPARSEMEM instead of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP' in the current log is a little duplicated with the overriding saying?

Sure, I just did not take the time to look up their respective default stances on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. For a distro looking to backport this commit I think it's helpful for them to understand if they are exposed or not.

Looks like only i386_defconfig does not enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. All the rest may have it disabled only with manual override.
