This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled fix virtual aliasing issue in get_shared_area() to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 5689b315a097042ff845b79b716c1c4b92b16f0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 12:30:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix virtual aliasing issue in get_shared_area() commit 949a05d03490e39e773e8652ccab9157e6f595b4 upstream.

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area. Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the problem isn't often seen in practise.
