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