[PATCH 3.14 24/96] mm/memory.c: actually remap enough memory

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

 



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

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

From: Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9cb12d7b4ccaa976f97ce0c5fd0f1b6a83bc2a75 upstream.

For whatever reason, generic_access_phys() only remaps one page, but
actually allows to access arbitrary size.  It's quite easy to trigger
large reads, like printing out large structure with gdb, which leads to a
crash.  Fix it by remapping correct size.
