commit647037adcaupstream. This reverts commit115d9d77bb. The pages being freed by memblock_free_late() have already been initialized, but if they are in the deferred init range, __free_one_page() might access nearby uninitialized pages when trying to coalesce buddies. This can, for example, trigger this BUG: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe964c02580c8 RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x3f/0x70 <TASK> __free_one_page+0x139/0x410 __free_pages_ok+0x21d/0x450 memblock_free_late+0x8c/0xb9 efi_free_boot_services+0x16b/0x25c efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x403/0x446 start_kernel+0x678/0x714 secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0xd2/0xdb </TASK> A proper fix will be more involved so revert this change for the time being.

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.
