From 4d4cf23cdde2f8f9324f5684a7f349e182039529 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 20:15:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] PM / Hibernate: Fix free_unnecessary_pages() There is a bug in free_unnecessary_pages() that causes it to attempt to free too many pages in some cases, which triggers the BUG_ON() in memory_bm_clear_bit() for copy_bm. Namely, if count_data_pages() is initially greater than alloc_normal, we get to_free_normal equal to 0 and "save" greater from 0. In that case, if the sum of "save" and count_highmem_pages() is greater than alloc_highmem, we subtract a positive number from to_free_normal. Hence, since to_free_normal was 0 before the subtraction and is an unsigned int, the result is converted to a huge positive number that is used as the number of pages to free. Fix this bug by checking if to_free_normal is actually greater than or equal to the number we're going to subtract from it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
