[PATCH 5/7] x86: fix pageattr handling for lpage percpu allocator and re-enable it

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Jun 16 2009 - 23:54:07 EST


lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.

This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.

pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().

Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.

With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable
it.
