[PATCH v3 0/2] Add bounds check for Hotplugged memory

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

 



From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This series adds bounds checks for hotplugged memory, ensuring that
it is within the physically addressable range (for platforms that
define MAX_(POSSIBLE_)PHYSMEM_BITS.

This allows for early failure, rather than attempting to access
bogus section numbers.

Changelog:
 V3:
   - Perform the addressable check before we take the hotplug lock
 V2:
   - Don't use MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS as it's wider that what
     may be available

Alastair D'Silva (2):
  memory_hotplug: Add a bounds check to check_hotplug_memory_range()
  mm: Add a bounds check in devm_memremap_pages()
