Subject: [ 13/17] x86, mm, paravirt: Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU updates
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:25:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130415022353.606462678@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130415022352.616689034@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Samu Kallio <samu.kallio@aberdeencloud.com>
commit 1160c2779b826c6f5c08e5cc542de58fd1f667d5 upstream.
In paravirtualized x86_64 kernels, vmalloc_fault may cause an oops
when lazy MMU updates are enabled, because set_pgd effects are being
deferred.
One instance of this problem is during process mm cleanup with memory
cgroups enabled. The chain of events is as follows:
- zap_pte_range enables lazy MMU updates
- zap_pte_range eventually calls mem_cgroup_charge_statistics,
which accesses the vmalloc'd mem_cgroup per-cpu stat area
- vmalloc_fault is triggered which tries to sync the corresponding
PGD entry with set_pgd, but the update is deferred
- vmalloc_fault oopses due to a mismatch in the PUD entries
The OOPs usually looks as so:

Calling arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode immediately after set_pgd makes the
changes visible to the consistency checks.
