mm, page_alloc: fix has_unmovable_pages for HugePages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While playing with gigantic hugepages and memory_hotplug, I triggered
the following #PF when "cat memoryX/removable":

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
  #PF error: [normal kernel read fault]
  PGD 0 P4D 0

The reason is we do not pass the Head to page_hstate(), and so, the call
to compound_order() in page_hstate() returns 0, so we end up checking
all hstates's size to match PAGE_SIZE.

Obviously, we do not find any hstate matching that size, and we return
NULL.  Then, we dereference that NULL pointer in
hugepage_migration_supported() and we got the #PF from above.

Fix that by getting the head page before calling page_hstate().

Also, since gigantic pages span several pageblocks, re-adjust the logic
for skipping pages.  While are it, we can also get rid of the
round_up().
