Subject: [ 19/20] mm: fix faulty initialization in vmalloc_init()
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 16:57:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120614235645.932553729@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120614235648.GA6552@kroah.com>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: KyongHo <pullip.cho@samsung.com>
commit dbda591d920b4c7692725b13e3f68ecb251e9080 upstream.
The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual
addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because
VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might
cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate
one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped.
va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with
VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed
by __purge_vmap_area_lazy().
Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given
vm_struct.
Also initialise va->vm. If it is not set, find_vm_area() for the early
vm regions will always fail.
