Subject: [PATCH 1/4] arm64: memblock: don't permit memblock resizing until linear mapping is up
Date: Tue,  6 Nov 2018 12:37:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181106113732.16351-2-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181106113732.16351-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Bhupesh reports that having numerous memblock reservations at early
boot may result in the following crash:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80003ffe0000
  ...
  Call trace:
   __memcpy+0x110/0x180
   memblock_add_range+0x134/0x2e8
   memblock_reserve+0x70/0xb8
   memblock_alloc_base_nid+0x6c/0x88
   __memblock_alloc_base+0x3c/0x4c
   memblock_alloc_base+0x28/0x4c
   memblock_alloc+0x2c/0x38
   early_pgtable_alloc+0x20/0xb0
   paging_init+0x28/0x7f8

This is caused by the fact that we permit memblock resizing before the
linear mapping is up, and so the memblock_reserved() array is moved
into memory that is not mapped yet.

So let's ensure that this crash can no longer occur, by deferring to
call to memblock_allow_resize() to after the linear mapping has been
created.
