Subject: [PATCH] khugepaged: collapse_pte_mapped_thp() flush the right range
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2020 12:12:42 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.11.2008021204390.27773@eggly.anvils> (raw)
pmdp_collapse_flush() should be given the start address at which the huge
page is mapped, haddr: it was given addr, which at that point has been
used as a local variable, incremented to the end address of the extent.
Found by source inspection while chasing a hugepage locking bug, which
I then could not explain by this. At first I thought this was very bad;
then saw that all of the page translations that were not flushed would
actually still point to the right pages afterwards, so harmless; then
realized that I know nothing of how different architectures and models
cache intermediate paging structures, so maybe it matters after all -
particularly since the page table concerned is immediately freed.
Much easier to fix than to think about.
