Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory.c: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 03:19:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210205081925.59809-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
If all pte entry is none in 'non-create' case, we would break the loop with
pte unchanged. Then the wrong pte - 1 would be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.
This is a theoretical issue which may not be a real bug. So it's not worth
cc stable.
Fixes: aee16b3cee27 ("Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte range")
