mm: page_alloc: fix CMA area initialisation when pageblock > MAX_ORDER
commit dc78327 upstream. With a kernel configured with ARM64_64K_PAGES && !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, the following is triggered at early boot: SMP: Total of 8 processors activated. devtmpfs: initialized Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = fffffe0000050000 [00000008] *pgd=00000043fba00003, *pmd=00000043fba00003, *pte=00e0000078010407 Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.15.0-rc864k+ #44 task: fffffe03bc040000 ti: fffffe03bc080000 task.ti: fffffe03bc080000 PC is at __list_add+0x10/0xd4 LR is at free_one_page+0x270/0x638 ... Call trace: __list_add+0x10/0xd4 free_one_page+0x26c/0x638 __free_pages_ok.part.52+0x84/0xbc __free_pages+0x74/0xbc init_cma_reserved_pageblock+0xe8/0x104 cma_init_reserved_areas+0x190/0x1e4 do_one_initcall+0xc4/0x154 kernel_init_freeable+0x204/0x2a8 kernel_init+0xc/0xd4 This happens because init_cma_reserved_pageblock() calls __free_one_page() with pageblock_order as page order but it is bigger than MAX_ORDER. This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[]. Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger than a MAX_ORDER page. In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the �pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER� condition will be optimised out since both sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size is variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.
