Subject: [PATCH] x86: meminfo: fix DirectMap2M underflow
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
This bug seems familiar. I'm not sure if I hit it a while ago
and ignored it or if it is something I've seen show up in a
couple of different forms.
I booted a kernel in a KVM instance which has a bunch of
debugging turned on. Meminfo shows:
DirectMap4k: 2058232 kB
DirectMap2M: 18446744073709541376 kB
Which is a _bit_ bogus. :) In this case, I think DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
is what actually triggers this:
void free_init_pages(char *what, unsigned long begin, unsigned long end)
{
...
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
printk(KERN_INFO "debug: unmapping init [mem %#010lx-%#010lx]\n",
begin, end - 1);
set_memory_np(begin, (end - begin) >> PAGE_SHIFT);
#else
...
Here, we are freeing memory in this mapping (from
Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt):
ffffffff80000000 - ffffffffa0000000 (=512 MB) kernel text mapping, from phys 0
Which we map with 2M pages. But, this is not a part of the
actual kernel linear map. The change_page_attr() code calls in
to split_page_count() since it is splitting a 2M page. We do
not have any 2M pages for the linear map (because of
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC), and the count underflows.
This patch adds a check (and an argument) to split_page_count()
to make sure that we can tell whether or not the address we are
splitting is part of the linear map.
It also changes the types of the direct_pages_count[] variables
and the accessor functions. The callers are already passing
signed variables in:
update_page_count(PG_LEVEL_1G, -pages);
to a function with unsigned arguments:
void update_page_count(int level, unsigned long pages)
so we might as well make them signed. We make the
direct_pages_count[] variables signed so that we can do easy
checks when they underflow.
