This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kaiser: kaiser_remove_mapping() move along the pgd to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kaiser-kaiser_remove_mapping-move-along-the-pgd.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Jan 3 18:58:12 CET 2018 From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2017 10:57:24 -0700 Subject: kaiser: kaiser_remove_mapping() move along the pgd From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> When removing the bogus comment from kaiser_remove_mapping(), I really ought to have checked the extent of its bogosity: as Neel points out, there is nothing to stop unmap_pud_range_nofree() from continuing beyond the end of a pud (and starting in the wrong position on the next). Fix kaiser_remove_mapping() to constrain the extent and advance pgd pointer correctly: use pgd_addr_end() macro as used throughout base mm (but don't assume page-rounded start and size in this case). But this bug was very unlikely to trigger in this backport: since any buddy allocation is contained within a single pud extent, and we are not using vmapped stacks (and are only mapping one page of stack anyway): the only way to hit this bug here would be when freeing a large modified ldt.
