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

 



3.16.46-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a8f60d1fadf7b8b54449fcc9d6b15248917478ba upstream.

On heavy paging with KSM I see guest data corruption. Turns out that
KSM will add pages to its tree, where the mapping return true for
pte_unused (or might become as such later).  KSM will unmap such pages
and reinstantiate with different attributes (e.g. write protected or
special, e.g. in replace_page or write_protect_page)). This uncovered
a bug in our pagetable handling: We must remove the unused flag as
soon as an entry becomes present again.
