[patch 05/33] KVM: MMU: Fix host memory corruption on i386 with >=4GB ram

From: Greg KH

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

PAGE_MASK is an unsigned long, so using it to mask physical addresses on
i386 (which are 64-bit wide) leads to truncation. This can result in
page->private of unrelated memory pages being modified, with disasterous
results.

Fix by not using PAGE_MASK for physical addresses; instead calculate
the correct value directly from PAGE_SIZE. Also fix a similar BUG_ON().
