mm: fix faulty initialization in vmalloc_init()

2012-06-09T15:36:06Z

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.

mm/vmalloc.c: eliminate extra loop in pcpu_get_vm_areas error path

2012-01-13T04:13:10Z

If either of the vas or vms arrays are not properly kzalloced, then the code jumps to the err_free label. The err_free label runs a loop to check and free each of the array members of the vas and vms arrays which is not required for this situation as none of the array members have been allocated till this point. Eliminate the extra loop we have to go through by introducing a new label err_free2 and then jumping to it.

mm/vmalloc.c: change void* into explict vm_struct*

2012-01-11T00:30:46Z

vmap_area->private is void* but we don't use the field for various purpose but use only for vm_struct. So change it to a vm_struct* with naming to improve for readability and type checking.

mm: vmalloc: check for page allocation failure before vmlist insertion

2011-12-09T15:50:29Z

Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via /proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after it is fully initialised. Unfortunately, it did not check that __vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area. In the event of allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in get_vmalloc_info(). This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within __vmalloc_node_range. It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node() before it called vfree in its failure path. Credit goes to Luciano Chavez for doing all the real work of identifying exactly where the problem was.

mm: add vm_area_add_early()

2011-11-18T18:51:22Z

The existing vm_area_register_early() allows for early vmalloc space allocation. However upcoming cleanups in the ARM architecture require that some fixed locations in the vmalloc area be reserved also very early. The name "vm_area_register_early" would have been a good name for the reservation part without the allocation. Since it is already in use with different semantics, let's create vm_area_add_early() instead. Both vm_area_register_early() and vm_area_add_early() can be used together meaning that the former is now implemented using the later where it is ensured that no conflicting areas are added, but no attempt is made to make the allocation scheme in vm_area_register_early() more sophisticated. After all, you must know what you're doing when using those functions. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Acked-by: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org

xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly

2011-11-16T17:13:08Z

When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm). After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be removed from alloc_vm_area().
