      x86/mm/pat: Prevent hang during boot when mapping pages · e535ec08
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      There's a mixture of signed 32-bit and unsigned 32-bit and 64-bit data
      types used for keeping track of how many pages have been mapped.
      
      This leads to hangs during boot when mapping large numbers of pages
      (multiple terabytes, as reported by Waiman) because those values are
      interpreted as being negative.
      
      commit 74256377 ("x86/mm/pat: Avoid truncation when converting
      cpa->numpages to address") fixed one of those bugs, but there is
      another lurking in __change_page_attr_set_clr().
      
      Additionally, the return value type for the populate_*() functions can
      return negative values when a large number of pages have been mapped,
      triggering the error paths even though no error occurred.
      
      Consistently use 64-bit types on 64-bit platforms when counting pages.
      Even in the signed case this gives us room for regions 8PiB
      (pebibytes) in size whilst still allowing the usual negative value
      error checking idiom.
