These two patches address issues with the recently added VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS vmalloc flag. It is now split into two patches, which made sense to me, but can split it further if desired. Patch 1 is the most critical and addresses an issue that could cause a crash on x86. Patch 2 is to try to reduce the work done in the free operation to push it to allocation time where it would be more expected. This shouldn't be a big issue most of the time, but I thought it was slightly better. v2->v3: - Split into two patches 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: Remove work as from vfree path mm/vmalloc.c | 23 +++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
