Subject: [PATCH] frontswap: fix incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2013 08:52:57 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370130777-6707-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the bitmap
must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is not
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map.
The incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because
frontswap_map is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated
allocation size may cause the problem.
For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice as
large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is smaller
than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
