[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 from mm/memory.c:
  1434  static inline void cow_user_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src, unsigned long va)
  1435  {
  1436          /*
  1437           * If the source page was a PFN mapping, we don't have
  1438           * a "struct page" for it. We do a best-effort copy by
  1439           * just copying from the original user address. If that
  1440           * fails, we just zero-fill it. Live with it.
  1441           */
  1442          if (unlikely(!src)) {
  1443                  void *kaddr = kmap_atomic(dst, KM_USER0);
  1444                  void __user *uaddr = (void __user *)(va & PAGE_MASK);
  1445  
  1446                  /*
  1447                   * This really shouldn't fail, because the page is there
  1448                   * in the page tables. But it might just be unreadable,
  1449                   * in which case we just give up and fill the result with
  1450                   * zeroes.
  1451                   */
  1452                  if (__copy_from_user_inatomic(kaddr, uaddr, PAGE_SIZE))
  1453                          memset(kaddr, 0, PAGE_SIZE);
  1454                  kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_USER0);
  #### D-cache have to be flushed here.
  #### It seems it is just forgotten.

  1455                  return;
  1456                  
  1457          }
  1458          copy_user_highpage(dst, src, va);
  #### Ok here. flush_dcache_page() called from this func if arch need it 
  1459  }

Following is the patch  fix this issue:
