[PATCH 4/4] mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas

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

 



Jann reported a race between munmap() and unmap_mapping_range(), where
unmap_mapping_range() will no-op once unmap_vmas() has unlinked the
VMA; however munmap() will not yet have invalidated the TLBs.

Therefore unmap_mapping_range() will complete while there are still
(stale) TLB entries for the specified range.

Mitigate this by force flushing TLBs for VM_PFNMAP ranges.
