3.2.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 30b03d05e07467b8c6ec683ea96b5bffcbcd3931 upstream. While gntdev_release() is called the MMU notifier is still registered and can traverse priv->maps list even if no pages are mapped (which is the case -- gntdev_release() is called after all). But gntdev_release() will clear that list, so make sure that only one of those things happens at the same time.

As gntdev_put_map() may sleep, we need to unlock inside the loop.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- --- a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c +++ b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c @@ -493,11 +493,15 @@ static int gntdev_release(struct inode * pr_debug("priv %p\n", priv); + spin_lock(&priv->lock); while (!list_empty(&priv->maps)) { map = list_entry(priv->maps.next, struct grant_map, next); list_del(&map->next); + spin_unlock(&priv->lock); gntdev_put_map(map); + spin_lock(&priv->lock); } + spin_unlock(&priv->lock); if (use_ptemod) mmu_notifier_unregister(&priv->mn, priv->mm); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
