Subject: [PATCH v3 07/11] mm/vmalloc: Warn on improper use of vunmap_range()
Date: Tue,  4 Mar 2025 15:04:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250304150444.3788920-8-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250304150444.3788920-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>

A call to vmalloc_huge() may cause memory blocks to be mapped at pmd or
pud level. But it is possible to subsequently call vunmap_range() on a
sub-range of the mapped memory, which partially overlaps a pmd or pud.
In this case, vmalloc unmaps the entire pmd or pud so that the
no-overlapping portion is also unmapped. Clearly that would have a bad
outcome, but it's not something that any callers do today as far as I
can tell. So I guess it's just expected that callers will not do this.

However, it would be useful to know if this happened in future; let's
add a warning to cover the eventuality.
