Dear ARM developers,
could you please help me to find the reason of this problem?
Hi,
mem_cgroup_from_obj():
ffff80000836cf40: d503245f bti c
ffff80000836cf44: d503201f nop
ffff80000836cf48: d503201f nop

ffff80000836cf58: 8b010001 add x1, x0, x1

ffff80000836cf68: 8b040022 add x2, x1, x4
ffff80000836cf6c: f9400443 ldr x3, [x2, #8]
x5 : ffff80000a96f000 x4 : fffffc0000000000 x3 : ffff80000ad5e680
x2 : fffffe00002bc240 x1 : 00000200002bc240 x0 : ffff80000af09740
x0 = 0xffff80000af09740 is an argument of mem_cgroup_from_obj()
according to System.map it is init_net
This issue is caused by calling virt_to_page() on address of static variable init_net.
Arm64 consider that addresses of static variables are not valid virtual addresses.
On x86_64 the same API works without any problem.
Unfortunately I do not understand the cause of the problem.
I do not see any bugs in my patch.
I'm using an existing API, mem_cgroup_from_obj(), to find the memory cgroup used
to account for the specified object.
In particular, in the current case, I wanted to get the memory cgroup of the
specified network namespace by the name taken from for_each_net().
The first object in this list is the static structure unit_net
root@test:~# cat /proc/kallsyms |grep -w _data
ffff80000a110000 D _data
root@test:~# cat /proc/kallsyms |grep -w _end
ffff80000a500000 B _end
root@test:~# cat /proc/kallsyms |grep -w init_net
ffff80000a4eb980 B init_net
the init_net is located in data section, on arm64, it is allowed by
vmalloc, see
map_kernel_segment(pgdp, _data, _end, PAGE_KERNEL, &vmlinux_data,
0, 0);
and the arm has same behavior.
We could let init_net be allocated dynamically, but I think it could
change a lot.
Any better sugguestion, Catalin?
