mm: bootmem: fix free_all_bootmem_core() with odd bitmap alignment
Currently free_all_bootmem_core ignores that node_min_pfn may be not multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Eg commit 6dccdcbe2c3e ("mm: bootmem: fix checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem") shifts vec by lower bits of start instead of lower bits of idx. Also if (IS_ALIGNED(start, BITS_PER_LONG) && vec == ~0UL) assumes that vec bit 0 corresponds to start pfn, which is only true when node_min_pfn is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. Also loop in the else clause can double-free pages (e.g. with node_min_pfn == start == 1, map[0] == ~0 on 32-bit machine page 32 will be double-freed). This bug causes the following message during xtensa kernel boot: bootmem::free_all_bootmem_core nid=0 start=1 end=8000 BUG: Bad page state in process swapper pfn:00001 page:d04bd020 count:0 mapcount:-127 mapping: (null) index:0x2 page flags: 0x0() Call Trace: bad_page+0x8c/0x9c free_pages_prepare+0x5e/0x88 free_hot_cold_page+0xc/0xa0 __free_pages+0x24/0x38 __free_pages_bootmem+0x54/0x56 free_all_bootmem_core$part$11+0xeb/0x138 free_all_bootmem+0x46/0x58 mem_init+0x25/0xa4 start_kernel+0x11e/0x25c should_never_return+0x0/0x3be7 The fix is the following: - always align vec so that its bit 0 corresponds to start - provide BITS_PER_LONG bits in vec, if those bits are available in the map - don't free pages past next start position in the else clause.
