[PATCH] mm: Don't allow ioremapping of ranges larger than vmalloc space

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

 



When running with a 16M IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER (on armv7) we found that the vmlist
search routine in __get_vm_area_node can mistakenly allow a driver to ioremap
a range larger than vmalloc space.

If at the time of the ioremap all existing vmlist areas sit below the determined
alignment then the search routine continues past all entries and exits the for
loop - straight into the found: label - without ever testing for integer
wrapping or that the requested size fits.

We were seeing a driver successfully ioremap 128M of flash even though there was
only 120M of vmalloc space. From that point the system was left with
the remainder
of the first 16M of space to vmalloc/ioremap within.
