[patch 25/37] Silent data corruption caused by XPC
From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Sep 06 2006 - 19:01:26 EST
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Robin Holt <holt@xxxxxxx>
Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.
