From: Vasily Kulikov Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:36:00 +0000 (-0700) Subject: include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a5e5e02fc83aaf67053ab53b359af08c6c49aaf;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space" is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers lower than mmap_min_addr. The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.
