Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xen/grant-table: Use put_page instead of free_page
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 09:36:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180111093638.28937-2-ross.lagerwall@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180111093638.28937-1-ross.lagerwall@citrix.com>
The page given to gnttab_end_foreign_access() to free could be a
compound page so use put_page() instead of free_page() since it can
handle both compound and single pages correctly.
This bug was discovered when migrating a Xen VM with several VIFs and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled. It hits a BUG usually after fewer than 10
iterations. All netfront devices disconnect from the backend during a
suspend/resume and this will call gnttab_end_foreign_access() if a
netfront queue has an outstanding skb. The mismatch between calling
get_page() and free_page() on a compound page causes a reference
counting error which is detected when DEBUG_VM is enabled.
