[PATCH 0/3] Sync unmappings in vmalloc/ioremap areas

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

 



Hi,

here is a small patch-set to sync unmappings in the
vmalloc/ioremap areas between page-tables in the system.

This is only needed x86-32 with !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD, which is
the case on a PAE kernel with PTI enabled.

On affected systems the missing sync causes old mappings to
persist in some page-tables, causing data corruption and
other undefined behavior.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

  x86/mm: Check for pfn instead of page in vmalloc_sync_one()
  x86/mm: Sync also unmappings in vmalloc_sync_one()
  mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in vunmap_page_range()
