From: Cliff Wickman Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 22:55:36 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm/pagewalk.c: walk_page_range should avoid VM_PFNMAP areas X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9ff785e4437c83d2179161e012f5bdfbd6381f0;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git mm/pagewalk.c: walk_page_range should avoid VM_PFNMAP areas A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc//smaps while an application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program. /proc//smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas. Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd()) assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures. There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore VM_PFNMAP areas. The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we want to test any vma in the range. VM_PFNMAP areas are used by: - graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c - global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c - sgi special memory char/mspec.c - and probably several out-of-tree modules [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused hugetlb_vma() stub] Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: David Sterba Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro Cc: "Kirill A.
