[PATCH 5.7 067/204] khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range

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

 



From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 723a80dafed5c95889d48baab9aa433a6ffa0b4e upstream.

pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.

Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which I
then could not explain by this.  At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.

Much easier to fix than to think about.
