[PATCH v3] arch : arm : add a criteria for pfn_valid

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

 



From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

pfn_valid can be wrong when parsing a invalid pfn whose phys address
exceeds BITS_PER_LONG as the MSB will be trimed when shifted.

The issue originally arise from bellowing call stack, which corresponding to
an access of the /proc/kpageflags from userspace with a invalid pfn parameter
and leads to kernel panic.

v2: use __pfn_to_phys/__phys_to_pfn instead of max_pfn as the criteria
v3: update commit message to describe the defection's context
