Subject: [28/35] PM / Hibernate: Fix free_unnecessary_pages()
Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:50:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110708225121.489862855@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110708225343.GA14402@kroah.com>
2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>
commit 4d4cf23cdde2f8f9324f5684a7f349e182039529 upstream.
There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to
attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the
BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if
count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get
to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case,
if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than
alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal.
Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is
an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number
that is used as the number of pages to free.
Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater
than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it.
