From f241b0b891c903da2465b7a98eaf650784e666da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2015 06:05:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xen: correct race in alloc_p2m_pmd() When allocating a new pmd for the linear mapped p2m list a check is done for not introducing another pmd when this just happened on another cpu. In this case the old pte pointer was returned which points to the p2m_missing or p2m_identity page. The correct value would be the pointer to the found new page.
