Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xen: Do not pin/unpin PMD pages
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:38:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1206722297-11763-3-git-send-email-markmc@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1206722297-11763-2-git-send-email-markmc@redhat.com>
During process startup, in xen_pgd_pin(), we pin PTE pages
but not PMD pages. If we then later map and unmap using an
otherwise unused PMD page, the unpin in release_pmd() fails
because it wasn't previously pinned.
i.e. with this simple test case:
int fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
munmap(mmap((void *)0x40000000, 0x1000_LEN, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0), 0x1000);
close(fd);
we currently get:
kernel BUG at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:678!
...
EIP is at xen_release_pt+0x79/0xa9
...
Call Trace:
[<c041da25>] ? __pmd_free_tlb+0x1a/0x75
[<c047a192>] ? free_pgd_range+0x1d2/0x2b5

=======================
and xen complains:
(XEN) mm.c:2241:d4 Mfn 1cc37 not pinned
