A crash on ARM64 in move_freepages_block due to uninitialized pages in reserved memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

I report this crash on ARM64 on the kernel 4.17.11. The reason is that the 
function move_freepages_block accesses contiguous runs of 
pageblock_nr_pages. The ARM64 firmware sets holes of reserved memory there 
and when move_freepages_block stumbles over this hole, it accesses 
uninitialized page structures and crashes.

The bug was already reported here for x86:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1598462

For x86, it was fixed in the kernel 4.17.7 - but I observed it in the 
kernel 4.17.11 on ARM64. I also observed it on 4.18-rc kernels running in 
KVM virtual machine on ARM when I compiled the guest kernel with 64kB page 
size.
