From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:09:50 +0200 Commit db64fe02258f (mm: rewrite vmap layer) introduced code that does address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not set to a power of two. Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption. However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices. To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

This fixes instant and fully repeatable crashes if NR_CPUS is not a power of two and vm_map_ram() or something like that is executed, for example firewire-ohci probe in its 2.6.38+ incarnation. mm/vmalloc.c | 7 ++++--- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c index 1d34d75..d3d451b 100644 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@ -732,9 +732,10 @@ static void free_unmap_vmap_area_addr(unsigned long addr) #define VMAP_BBMAP_BITS_MIN (VMAP_MAX_ALLOC*2) #define VMAP_MIN(x, y) ((x) < (y) ?
