[PATCH] lib/test_hmm: avoid accessing uninitialized pages

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

 



If make_device_exclusive_range() fails or returns pages marked for
exclusive access less than required, remaining fields of pages will
left uninitialized. So dmirror_atomic_map() will access those yet
uninitialized fields of pages. To fix it, do dmirror_atomic_map()
iff all pages are marked for exclusive access (we will break if
mapped is less than required anyway) so we won't access those
uninitialized fields of pages.

Fixes: b659baea7546 ("mm: selftests for exclusive device memory")
