Subject: [PATCH 3.13 07/22] xen/balloon: flush persistent kmaps in correct position
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 21:08:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140401040704.932839871@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140401040703.045139933@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>

commit 09ed3d5ba06137913960f9c9385f71fc384193ab upstream.

Xen balloon driver will update ballooned out pages' P2M entries to point
to scratch page for PV guests. In 24f69373e2 ("xen/balloon: don't alloc
page while non-preemptible", kmap_flush_unused was moved after updating
P2M table. In that case for 32 bit PV guest we might end up with

  P2M    X -----> S  (S is mfn of balloon scratch page)
  M2P    Y -----> X  (Y is mfn in persistent kmap entry)

kmap_flush_unused() iterates through all the PTEs in the kmap address
space, using pte_to_page() to obtain the page. If the p2m and the m2p
are inconsistent the incorrect page is returned.  This will clear
page->address on the wrong page which may cause subsequent oopses if
that page is currently kmap'ed.

Move the flush back between get_page and __set_phys_to_machine to fix
this.
