Subject: [PATCH] fix broken size test in bitmap_find_free_region()
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 13:22:33 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0902061313260.6241@axis700.grange> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0901280913090.4926@axis700.grange>
This loop and test in bitmap_find_free_region()
for (pos = 0; pos < bits; pos += (1 << order))
if (__reg_op(bitmap, pos, order, REG_OP_ISFREE))
break;
if (pos == bits)
return -ENOMEM;
can only return an error (-ENOMEM) if bits is a multiple of (1 << order),
which is, for instance, true, if bits is (also) a power of 2. This
is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). A failure to
recognise too large a request leads in dma_alloc_from_coherent() to
accessing beyond available memory, and to writing beyond the bitmap.
