Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] efi: Align unaccepted memory range to page boundary
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 10:49:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217104957.249340-3-kas@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217104957.249340-1-kas@kernel.org>
The accept_memory() and range_contains_unaccepted_memory() functions
employ a "guard page" logic to prevent crashes with load_unaligned_zeropad().
This logic extends the range to be accepted (or checked) by one unit_size
if the end of the range is aligned to a unit_size boundary.
However, if the caller passes a range that is not page-aligned, the
'end' of the range might not be numerically aligned to unit_size, even
if it covers the last page of a unit. This causes the "if (!(end % unit_size))"
check to fail, skipping the necessary extension and leaving the next
unit unaccepted, which can lead to a kernel panic when accessed by
load_unaligned_zeropad().
Align the start address down and the size up to the nearest page
boundary before performing the unit_size alignment check. This ensures
that the guard unit is correctly added when the range effectively ends
on a unit boundary.
