Subject: [PATCH 1/1] crash_dump: fix non-pae kdump kernel memory accesses
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:45:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256312729-22935-1-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com> (raw)

Non-PAE 32-bit dump kernels may wrap an address around 4G and
poke unwanted space. ptes there are 32-bit long, and since
pfn << PAGE_SIZE may exceed this limit, high pfn bits are cropped
and wrong address mapped by kmap_atomic_pfn in copy_oldmem_page.

Don't allow this behavior in non-PAE kdump kernels by checking
pfns passed into copy_oldmem_page. In the case of failure,
userspace process gets EFAULT.
