fix for x86_64 iounmap

Can we have the customer test the above patch? The patch doesn't change
semantics of the the vmalloc routines, and should fix the issue. thanks.

fix for x86_64 iounmap take #2

actually we don't need the tlb flush since its in the change__attr_addr routine
already.

fix for x86_64 iounmap take #3

very similar to previous patch, but closer to upstream

This is basically the same as bug 160135.

This bug:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000000018f0
bug 160135:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000000018f0

Is there no way pfn_to_page() could be modified to handle this kind of address?  

I'm just wonderring because I'm trying to figure out bug 168605 which seems related.

should be fixed in -22.3.EL, see: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/

Comment 31 Mark J. Cox 2005-10-13 10:28:07 UTC
mm/ioremap.c in Linux 2.6 on x86_64 systems allows local users to cause a denial
of service or an information leak via an iremap on a certain memory map that
causes the iounmap to perform a lookup of a page that does not exist.

fixed upstream in 2.6.12
