[PATCH] x86/vdso: fix incorrect size in munmap during map_vdso failure

From: Guilherme Giacomo Simoes

Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 15:16:33 EST


In the map_vdso function, if a failure occurs during the installation of
the VVAR mappings, the error path attempts to clean up previously
allocated mappings using do_munmap. However, the cleanup for the VVAR
mapping was incorrectly using image->size (the size of the vDSO text)
instead of the actual size allocated for the VVAR area.

Replace the incorrect image->size parameter with the constant
VDSO_NR_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE in the do_munmap call. Ensure the unmap size
exactly matches the size used during the vdso_install_vvar_mapping()
phase to provide a symmetrical and complete teardown of the memory
region.
