Hi,

here is a small patch-set to sync unmappings in the
vmalloc/ioremap areas between page-tables in the system.

This is only needed x86-32 with !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD, which is
the case on a PAE kernel with PTI enabled.

On affected systems the missing sync causes old mappings to
persist in some page-tables, causing data corruption and
other undefined behavior.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes v2 -> v3:

	- Moved the vmalloc_sync_all() call to the lazy vmap
	  purge function as requested by Andy Lutomirski

	- Made sure that the code in vmalloc_sync_all()
	  really iterates over all pgds (pointed out by
	  Thomas Gleixner)

	- Added a couple of comments

Changes v1 -> v2:
 
	- Added correct Fixes-tags to all patches

  x86/mm: Check for pfn instead of page in vmalloc_sync_one()
  x86/mm: Sync also unmappings in vmalloc_sync_all()

Do not require a struct page for the mapped memory location
because it might not exist. This can happen when an
ioremapped region is mapped with 2MB pages.

With huge-page ioremap areas the unmappings also need to be
synced between all page-tables. Otherwise it can cause data
corruption when a region is unmapped and later re-used.

Make the vmalloc_sync_one() function ready to sync
unmappings and make sure vmalloc_sync_all() iterates over
all page-tables even when an unmapped PMD is found.

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables
are not shared between processes. This can cause mappings in
the vmalloc/ioremap area to persist in some page-tables
after the region is unmapped and released.

When the region is re-used the processes with the old
mappings do not fault in the new mappings but still access
the old ones.

This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data
corruption, kernel oopses and panics and even spontaneous
reboots.

Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the
vmalloc/ioremap area to all page-tables in the system before
the regions can be re-used.

Srewed up the subject :(, it needs to be

	"mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()"

of course.

Do not require a struct page for the mapped memory location because it

mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared
between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released.

When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault
in the new mappings but still access the old ones.

This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel
oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots.

Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.
