Re: [PATCH] LoongArch: Add support to clone a time namespace

[Huacai Chen]

Hi, Tiezhu,

The layout of vdso data (loongarch_vdso_data):

       struct vdso_pcpu_data pdata[NR_CPUS];
       struct vdso_data data[CS_BASES];

VDSO_DATA_SIZE is the page aligned size of loongarch_vdso_data, and in
memory, vdso code is above vdso data.

Then, get_vdso_base() returns the start of vdso code, and
get_vdso_data() returns the start of vdso data.

In your patch, __arch_get_timens_vdso_data() returns get_vdso_data() +
PAGE_SIZE, but you don't increase the size of loongarch_vdso_data. The
result is it returns an address in vdso code.

Now, do you know what the problem is? Or still insist that "I have tested"?
