From dc78327c0ea7da5186d8cbc1647bd6088c5c9fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Nazarewicz Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 15:22:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: page_alloc: fix CMA area initialisation when pageblock > MAX_ORDER MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With a kernel configured with ARM64_64K_PAGES && !TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, the following is triggered at early boot: SMP: Total of 8 processors activated. devtmpfs: initialized Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = fffffe0000050000 [00000008] *pgd=00000043fba00003, *pmd=00000043fba00003, *pte=00e0000078010407 Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.15.0-rc864k+ #44 task: fffffe03bc040000 ti: fffffe03bc080000 task.ti: fffffe03bc080000 PC is at __list_add+0x10/0xd4 LR is at free_one_page+0x270/0x638 ...

This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[]. Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger than a MAX_ORDER page. In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the “pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER” condition will be optimised out since both sides of the operator are constants. In cases where pageblock size is variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.
