Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xen: Do not pin/unpin PMD pages
Date: Wed,  2 Apr 2008 15:36:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1207146998-14607-2-git-send-email-markmc@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1207146998-14607-1-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_pd() 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

    [<c047c24f>] ? sys_munmap+0x30/0x3f
    [<c0408cce>] ? syscall_call+0x7/0xb
    =======================

and xen complains:

  (XEN) mm.c:2241:d4 Mfn 1cc37 not pinned
