[added to the 3.18 stable tree] powerpc/mm: Recompute hash value after a failed update

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

 



From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 36b35d5d807b7e57aff7d08e63de8b17731ee211 ]

If we had secondary hash flag set, we ended up modifying hash value in
the updatepp code path. Hence with a failed updatepp we will be using
a wrong hash value for the following hash insert. Fix this by
recomputing hash before insert.

Without this patch we can end up with using wrong slot number in linux
pte. That can result in us missing an hash pte update or invalidate
which can cause memory corruption or even machine check.
