From 39083c6db7e18732e872fed0c2f2427de12a622a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KyongHo Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix faulty initialization in vmalloc_init() commit dbda591d920b4c7692725b13e3f68ecb251e9080 upstream. The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped. va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed by __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given vm_struct. Also initialise va->vm. If it is not set, find_vm_area() for the early vm regions will always fail.
