[PATCH] percpu: clean up all mappings when pcpu_map_pages() fails

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Mon Mar 11 2024 - 15:43:58 EST


In pcpu_map_pages(), if __pcpu_map_pages() fails on a CPU, we call
__pcpu_unmap_pages() to clean up mappings on all CPUs where mappings
were created, but not on the CPU where __pcpu_map_pages() fails.

__pcpu_map_pages() and __pcpu_unmap_pages() are wrappers around
vmap_pages_range_noflush() and vunmap_range_noflush(). All other callers
of vmap_pages_range_noflush() call vunmap_range_noflush() when mapping
fails, except pcpu_map_pages(). The reason could be that partial
mappings may be left behind from a failed mapping attempt.

Call __pcpu_unmap_pages() for the failed CPU as well in
pcpu_map_pages().

This was found by code inspection, no failures or bugs were observed.

Perhaps the reason __pcpu_unmap_pages() is not currently being called
for the failed CPU is that the size and alignment requirements make sure
we never leave any partial mappings behind? I have no idea. Nonetheless,
I think we want this change as that could be fragile, and is
inconsistent with other callers.
