Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] Fix issues with vmalloc flush flag
Date: Mon, 27 May 2019 14:10:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190527211058.2729-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
These two patches address issues with the recently added
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS vmalloc flag.
Patch 1 addresses an issue that could cause a crash after other
architectures besides x86 rely on this path.
Patch 2 addresses an issue where in a rare case strange arguments
could be provided to flush_tlb_kernel_range().
v4->v5:
- Update commit messages with info that the first issue will actually
not cause problems today
- Avoid re-use of variable (PeterZ)
v3->v4:
- Drop patch that switched vm_unmap_alias() calls to regular flush (Andy)
- Add patch to address correctness previously fixed in dropped patch
v2->v3:
- Split into two patches (Andy)
v1->v2:
- Update commit message with more detail
- Fix flush end range on !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP case
Rick Edgecombe (2):
vmalloc: Fix calculation of direct map addr range
vmalloc: Avoid rare case of flushing tlb with weird arguments
