Subject: mm: fix page table unmap for stack guard page properly
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~20
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=11ac552477e32835cb6970bf0a70c210807f5673
mm: fix page table unmap for stack guard page properly
We do in fact need to unmap the page table _before_ doing the whole
stack guard page logic, because if it is needed (mainly 32-bit x86 with
PAE and CONFIG_HIGHPTE, but other architectures may use it too) then it
will do a kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.
And those kmaps will create an atomic region that we cannot do
allocations in. However, the whole stack expand code will need to do
anon_vma_prepare() and vma_lock_anon_vma() and they cannot do that in an
atomic region.
Now, a better model might actually be to do the anon_vma_prepare() when
_creating_ a VM_GROWSDOWN segment, and not have to worry about any of
this at page fault time. But in the meantime, this is the
straightforward fix for the issue.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 for details.
