-Subject: mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()
-
-On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables are not shared
-between processes. This can cause mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
-persist in some page-tables after the region is unmapped and released.
-
-When the region is re-used the processes with the old mappings do not fault
-in the new mappings but still access the old ones.
-
-This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data corruption, kernel
-oopses and panics and even spontaneous reboots.
-
-Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the vmalloc/ioremap area to
-all page-tables in the system before the regions can be re-used.
-
-References: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1118689
-Fixes: 5d72b4fba40ef ('x86, mm: support huge I/O mapping capability I/F')
