[PATCH 4.4 28/67] xen: Fix page <-> pfn conversion on 32 bit systems

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 60901df3aed230d4565dca003f11b6a95fbf30d9 upstream.

Commit 1084b1988d22dc165c9dbbc2b0e057f9248ac4db (xen: Add Xen specific
page definition) caused a regression in 4.4.

The xen functions to convert between pages and pfns fail due to an
overflow on systems where a physical address may not fit in an
unsigned long (e.g. x86 32 bit PAE systems). Rework the conversion to
avoid overflow. This should also result in simpler object code.

This bug manifested itself as disk corruption with Linux 4.4 when
using blkfront in a Xen HVM x86 32 bit guest with more than 4 GiB of
memory.
