From 6dccdcbe2c3ebe152847ac8507e7bded4e3f4546 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gavin Shan Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:32 -0700 Subject: mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem When bootmem releases an unaligned chunk of memory at the beginning of a node to the page allocator, it iterates from that unaligned PFN but checks an aligned word of the page bitmap. The checked bits do not correspond to the PFNs and, as a result, reserved pages can be freed. Properly shift the bitmap word so that the lowest bit corresponds to the starting PFN before entering the freeing loop. This bug has been around since commit 41546c17418f ("bootmem: clean up free_all_bootmem_core") (2.6.27) without known reports.
