This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/mm: Disable ioremap free page handling on x86-PAE to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-mm-disable-ioremap-free-page-handling-on-x86-pae.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@vger.kernel.org> know about it. From f967db0b9ed44ec3057a28f3b28efc51df51b835 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 08:13:46 -0600 Subject: x86/mm: Disable ioremap free page handling on x86-PAE From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> commit f967db0b9ed44ec3057a28f3b28efc51df51b835 upstream. ioremap() supports pmd mappings on x86-PAE. However, kernel's pmd tables are not shared among processes on x86-PAE. Therefore, any update to sync'd pmd entries need re-syncing. Freeing a pte page also leads to a vmalloc fault and hits the BUG_ON in vmalloc_sync_one(). Disable free page handling on x86-PAE. pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() simply return 0 if a given pud/pmd entry is present. This assures that ioremap() does not update sync'd pmd entries at the cost of falling back to pte mappings.
