From f073bdc51771f5a5c7a8d1191bfc3ae371d44de7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 16:58:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: don't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this before having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y. So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.
