Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xen: Fix page <-> pfn conversion on 32 bit systems
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:51:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458233520-18821-1-git-send-email-ross.lagerwall@citrix.com> (raw)
The xen functions to convert between pages and pfns fail due to an
overflow on systems where a physical address may not fit in an unsigned
long (e.g. x86 32 bit PAE systems). Rework the conversion to avoid
overflow. This should also result in simpler object code.
This bug manifested itself as disk corruption with Linux 4.4 when using
blkfront in a Xen HVM x86 32 bit guest with more than 4 GiB of memory.
