[PATCH 4.5 46/88] xen/balloon: Fix crash when ballooning on x86 32 bit PAE
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 09 2016 - 03:49:47 EST
4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit dfd74a1edfaba5864276a2859190a8d242d18952 upstream.
Commit 55b3da98a40dbb3776f7454daf0d95dde25c33d2 (xen/balloon: find
non-conflicting regions to place hotplugged memory) caused a
regression in 4.4.
When ballooning on an x86 32 bit PAE system with close to 64 GiB of
memory, the address returned by allocate_resource may be above 64 GiB.
When using CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, this setup is limited to using physical
addresses < 64 GiB. When adding memory at this address, it runs off
the end of the mem_section array and causes a crash. Instead, fail
the ballooning request.
