Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: use pfn math in place of direct struct
page manipulation
When dealing with hugetlb pages, manipulating struct page pointers directly can get to wrong struct page, since struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use pfn calculation to handle it properly.
Without the fix, a wrong number of page might be skipped. Since skip cannot be negative, scan_movable_page() will end early and might miss a movable page with -ENOENT. This might fail offline_pages(). No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.
