If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary, the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized. This may lead to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs handlers. Here are the the panic examples: CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y kernel parameter mem=2050M -------------------------- page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p)) Call Trace: test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160 show_valid_zones+0x5c/0x190 dev_attr_show+0x34/0x70 sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xc8/0x148 seq_read+0x204/0x480 __vfs_read+0x32/0x178 vfs_read+0x82/0x138 ksys_read+0x5a/0xb0 system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 Last Breaking-Event-Address: test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
