It doesn't apply anymore. It was against v3.4. I will send one against Linus' tree soon. David Daney On 05/07/2013 10:23 AM, David Daney wrote:
From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx> As reported: This problem was discovered when doing BGP traffic with the TCP MD5 option activated, where the following call chain caused a crash: * tcp_v4_rcv * tcp_v4_timewait_ack * tcp_v4_send_ack -> follow stack variable rep.th * tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr * tcp_md5_hash_header * sg_init_one * sg_set_buf * virt_to_page I noticed that tcp_v4_send_reset uses a similar stack variable and also calls tcp_v4_md5_hash_hdr, so it has the same problem. The networking core can indirectly call virt_to_phys() on stack addresses, if this is done from PID 0, the stack will usually be in CKSEG0, so virt_to_phys() needs to work there as well Signed-off-by: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Not tested against kernel.org kernel, but it may still apply This could also fix problems noted by Eunbong Song with the free_initmem_default() call. arch/mips/include/asm/io.h | 2 +- arch/mips/include/asm/page.h | 5 +++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h b/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h index a58f229..37fa957 100644 --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h @@ -116,7 +116,7 @@ static inline void set_io_port_base(unsigned long base) */ static inline unsigned long virt_to_phys(volatile const void *address) { - return (unsigned long)address - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET; + return __pa(address); } /* diff --git a/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h b/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h index cee3893..e09bff9 100644 --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h @@ -48,7 +48,6 @@ #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ #include <linux/pfn.h> -#include <asm/io.h> extern void build_clear_page(void); extern void build_copy_page(void); @@ -139,7 +138,6 @@ typedef struct { unsigned long pgprot; } pgprot_t; */ #define ptep_buddy(x) ((pte_t *)((unsigned long)(x) ^ sizeof(pte_t))) -#endif /* !__ASSEMBLY__ */ /* * __pa()/__va() should be used only during mem init. @@ -156,6 +154,9 @@ typedef struct { unsigned long pgprot; } pgprot_t; #endif #define __va(x) ((void *)((unsigned long)(x) + PAGE_OFFSET - PHYS_OFFSET)) +#include <asm/io.h> +#endif /* !__ASSEMBLY__ */ + /* * RELOC_HIDE was originally added by 6007b903dfe5f1d13e0c711ac2894bdd4a61b1ad * (lmo) rsp. 8431fd094d625b94d364fe393076ccef88e6ce18 (kernel.org).
