[PATCH] android: binder: fix binder mmap failures

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Fri Feb 27 2015 - 11:30:31 EST


binder_update_page_range() initializes only addr and size
fields in 'struct vm_struct tmp_area;' and passes it to
map_vm_area().

Before 71394fe50146 ("mm: vmalloc: add flag preventing guard hole allocation")
this was because map_vm_area() didn't use any other fields
in vm_struct except addr and size.

Now get_vm_area_size() (used in map_vm_area()) reads vm_struct's
flags to determine whether vm area has guard hole or not.

binder_update_page_range() don't initialize flags field, so
this causes following binder mmap failures:

binder: 1982: binder_alloc_buf failed to map page at f0e00000 in kernel
binder: binder_mmap: 1982 b6bde000-b6cdc000 alloc small buf failed -12

Use map_kernel_range_noflush() instead of map_vm_area() as this is better
API for binder's purposes and it allows to get rid of 'vm_struct tmp_area' at all.
