Fonzo" , linux-mm@kvack.org, inux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 22:09:50 +0200 From: Clemens Ladisch Commit db64fe02258f (mm: rewrite vmap layer) introduced code that does address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not set to a power of two. Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption. However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices. To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two. BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31572 Reported-by: Pavel Kysilka Reported-by: Matias A.
