Subject: [PATCH 11/11] xen/mmu: Release just the MFN list, not MFN list and part of pagetables.
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 12:03:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1345133009-21941-12-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1345133009-21941-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

We call memblock_reserve for [start of mfn list] -> [PMD aligned end
of mfn list] instead of <start of mfn list> -> <page aligned end of mfn list].

This has the disastrous effect that if at bootup the end of mfn_list is
not PMD aligned we end up returning to memblock parts of the region
past the mfn_list array. And those parts are the PTE tables with
the disastrous effect of seeing this at bootup:

Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1860k freed
Freeing unused kernel memory: 200k freed
(XEN) mm.c:2429:d0 Bad type (saw 1400000000000002 != exp 7000000000000000) for mfn 116a80 (pfn 14e26)
...
(XEN) mm.c:908:d0 Error getting mfn 116a83 (pfn 14e2a) from L1 entry 8000000116a83067 for l1e_owner=0, pg_owner=0

.. and so on.
