Subject: mm/sparse.c: fix typo in online_mem_sections
From: Michal Hocko <[email protected]>
commit b4ccec41af82b5a5518c6534444412961894f07c upstream.
online_mem_sections() accidentally marks online only the first section in the given range. This is a typo which hasn't been noticed because I haven't tested large 2GB blocks previously. All users of pfn_to_online_page would get confused on the the rest of the pfn range in the block.
All we need to fix this is to use iterator (pfn) rather than start_pfn.
