Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING. They should not get touched. For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG: :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p)) There is not page extension available. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1107! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).

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.
