Subject[PATCH for v4.9 LTS 85/87] mm: don't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages
Date
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

[ Upstream commit f073bdc51771f5a5c7a8d1191bfc3ae371d44de7 ]

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.
