[PATCH 4.4 102/112] powerpc/mm: Prevent unlikely crash in copro_calculate_slb()

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Frederic Barrat <fbarrat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit d2cf909cda5f8c5609cb7ed6cda816c3e15528c7 upstream.

If a cxl adapter faults on an invalid address for a kernel context, we
may enter copro_calculate_slb() with a NULL mm pointer (kernel
context) and an effective address which looks like a user
address. Which will cause a crash when dereferencing mm. It is clearly
an AFU bug, but there's no reason to crash either. So return an error,
so that cxl can ack the interrupt with an address error.
