[PATCH v2] arm: flush: check if the folio is reserved for no-mapping addresses

From: Yongqiang Liu
Date: Fri Feb 23 2024 - 01:36:39 EST


Since commit a4d5613c4dc6 ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. A valid page for an address which
is reserved but not mapped by the kernel[1], the system crashed during
some uio test with the following memory layout:

node 0: [mem 0x00000000c0a00000-0x00000000cc8fffff]
node 0: [mem 0x00000000d0000000-0x00000000da1fffff]
the uio layout is:0xc0900000, 0x100000

the crash backtrace like:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bff00000

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

So check if PG_reserved was set to solve this issue.
