The patch titled Subject: device-dax: implement ->split() to catch invalid munmap attempts has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was device-dax-implement-split-to-catch-invalid-munmap-attempts.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: device-dax: implement ->split() to catch invalid munmap attempts Similar to how device-dax enforces that the 'address', 'offset', and 'len' parameters to mmap() be aligned to the device's fundamental alignment, the same constraints apply to munmap(). Implement ->split() to fail munmap calls that violate the alignment constraint. Otherwise, we later fail VM_BUG_ON checks in the unmap_page_range() path with crash signatures of the form: vma ffff8800b60c8a88 start 00007f88c0000000 end 00007f88c0e00000 next (null) prev (null) mm ffff8800b61150c0 prot 8000000000000027 anon_vma (null) vm_ops ffffffffa0091240 pgoff 0 file ffff8800b638ef80 private_data (null) flags: 0x380000fb(read|write|shared|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|mayshare|softdirty|mixedmap|hugepage) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:2014!
