Subject: [PATCH 1/5] s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision
Date: Thu, 28 May 2015 11:52:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432813957-46874-2-git-send-email-dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1432813957-46874-1-git-send-email-dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have
the hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug.
The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported currently),
but does not get pagetables with PGSTE.
This would lead to random memory overwrites.
