Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING. They should not get touched. Right now, when trying to soft-offline a PFN that resides on a memory block that was never onlined, one gets a misleading error with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING: :/# echo 5637144576 > /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page [ 23.097167] soft offline: 0x150000 page already poisoned But the actual result depends on the garbage in the memmap. soft_offline_page() can only work with online pages, it returns -EIO in case of ZONE_DEVICE. Make sure to only forward pages that are online (iow, managed by the buddy) and, therefore, have an initialized memmap. Add a check against pfn_to_online_page() and similarly return -EIO.

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.
