From cf77ee54362a245f9a01f240adce03a06c05eb68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Hong H. Pham" Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 09:06:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix PTE page address mismatch in pgtable ctor/dtor In pte_alloc_one(), pgtable_page_ctor() is passed an address that has not been converted by page_address() to the newly allocated PTE page. When the PTE is freed, __pte_free_tlb() calls pgtable_page_dtor() with an address to the PTE page that has been converted by page_address(). The mismatch in the PTE's page address causes pgtable_page_dtor() to access invalid memory, so resources for that PTE (such as the page lock) is not properly cleaned up. On PPC32, only SMP kernels are affected. On PPC64, only SMP kernels with 4K page size are affected. This bug was introduced by commit d614bb041209fd7cb5e4b35e11a7b2f6ee8f62b8 "powerpc: Move the pte free routines from common header". On a preempt-rt kernel, a spinlock is dynamically allocated for each PTE in pgtable_page_ctor(). When the PTE is freed, calling pgtable_page_dtor() with a mismatched page address causes a memory leak, as the pointer to the PTE's spinlock is bogus. On mainline, there isn't any immediately obvious symptoms, but the problem still exists here.
