[PATCH 1/5] s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision

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

 



By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have
the hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug.

The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported currently),
but does not get pagetables with PGSTE.
This would lead to random memory overwrites.
