Subject: x86/mm/64: Do not dereference non-present PGD entries
X-Git-Tag: v5.10.7~1915
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=995909a4e22bc7b3ea3a71388cbb62ffebd76e7b;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

x86/mm/64: Do not dereference non-present PGD entries

The code for preallocate_vmalloc_pages() was written under the
assumption that the p4d_offset() and pud_offset() functions will perform
present checks before dereferencing the parent entries.

This assumption is wrong an leads to a bug in the code which causes the
physical address found in the PGD be used as a page-table page, even if
the PGD is not present.

So the code flow currently is:

	pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
	p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);
	if (p4d_none(*p4d))
		p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);

This lacks a check for pgd_none() at least, the correct flow would be:

	pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
	if (pgd_none(*pgd))
		p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);
	else
		p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);

But this is the same flow that the p4d_alloc() and the pud_alloc()
functions use internally, so there is no need to duplicate them.

Remove the p?d_none() checks from the function and just call into
p4d_alloc() and pud_alloc() to correctly pre-allocate the PGD entries.
