Subject[PATCH v2] fs/proc/page: Skip uninitialized page when iterating page structures
Date
It was found that on a dual-socket x86-64 system with nvdimm, reading
/proc/kpagecount may cause the system to panic:

===================

It turns out the panic was caused by the kpagecount_read() function
hitting an uninitialized page structure at PFN 0x880000 where all its
fields were set to -1. The compound_head value of -1 will mislead the
kernel to treat -2 as a pointer to the head page of the compound page
leading to the crash.

The system have 12 GB of nvdimm ranging from PFN 0x880000-0xb7ffff.
However, only PFN 0x88c200-0xb7ffff are released by the nvdimm
driver to the kernel and initialized. IOW, PFN 0x880000-0x88c1ff
remain uninitialized. Perhaps these 196 MB of nvdimm are reserved for
internal use.

To fix the panic, we need to find out if a page structure has been
initialized. This is done now by checking if the PFN is in the range
of a memory zone assuming that pages in a zone is either correctly
marked as not present in the mem_section structure or have their page
structures initialized.
