From bbc60c18ed17df75270da504bbd8f7bc4a52d43d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Abd-El-Malek Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 02:33:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xen: fix grant table bug fix memory corruption and crash due to mis-sized grant table. A PV OS has two grant table data structures: the grant table itself and a free list. The free list is composed of an array of pages, which grow dynamically as the guest OS requires more grants. While the grant table contains 8-byte entries, the free list contains 4-byte entries. So we have half as many pages in the free list than in the grant table. There was a bug in the free list allocation code. The free list was indexed as if it was the same size as the grant table. But it's only half as large. So memory got corrupted, and I was seeing crashes in the slab allocator later on.
