a11940978bd598e65996b4f807cf4904793f7025 upstream.
If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:
# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!
The backtrace is:
create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write
In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.
Rerunning the test with this patch applied:
# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
