x86/mm/cpa: Fix populate_pgd(): Stop trying to deallocate failed PUDs
Valdis Kletnieks bisected a boot failure back to this recent commit:
360cb4d15567 ("x86/mm/cpa: In populate_pgd(), don't set the PGD entry until it's populated")
I broke the case where a PUD table got allocated -- populate_pud()
would wander off a pgd_none entry and get lost. I'm not sure how
this survived my testing.
Fix the original issue in a much simpler way. The problem
was that, if we allocated a PUD table, failed to populate it, and
freed it, another CPU could potentially keep using the PGD entry we
installed (either by copying it via vmalloc_fault or by speculatively
caching it). There's a straightforward fix: simply leave the
top-level entry in place if this happens. This can't waste any
significant amount of memory -- there are at most 256 entries like
this systemwide and, as a practical matter, if we hit this failure
path repeatedly, we're likely to reuse the same page anyway.
For context, this is a reversion with this hunk added in:
if (ret < 0) {
+ /*
+ * Leave the PUD page in place in case some other CPU or thread
+ * already found it, but remove any useless entries we just
+ * added to it.
+ */
- unmap_pgd_range(cpa->pgd, addr,
+ unmap_pud_range(pgd_entry, addr,
addr + (cpa->numpages << PAGE_SHIFT));
return ret;
}
This effectively open-codes what the now-deleted unmap_pgd_range()
function used to do except that unmap_pgd_range() used to try to
free the page as well.
