Mel Gorman 6b0868c820 mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock skip hints 
Mikhail Gavrilo reported the following bug being triggered in a Fedora
kernel based on 5.1-rc1 but it is relevant to a vanilla kernel.

He bisected it down to e332f741a8 ("mm, compaction: be selective about
what pageblocks to clear skip hints").  The problem is that the patch in
question was sloppy with respect to the handling of zone boundaries.  In
some instances, it was possible for PFNs outside of a zone to be examined
and if those were not properly initialised or poisoned then it would
trigger the VM_BUG_ON.  This patch corrects the zone boundary issues when
resetting pageblock skip hints and Mikhail reported that the bug did not
trigger after 30 hours of testing.

README 

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.
