Subject[PATCH v4 0/2] Fix issues with vmalloc flush flag
Date
These two patches address issues with the recently added
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS vmalloc flag.

Patch 1 is the most critical and addresses an issue that could cause a
crash on x86.

Patch 2 addresses an issue where in a rare case strange arguments
could be provided to flush_tlb_kernel_range(). Most arch's should be
fine with it, but some may not like them, so we should avoid doing
this.

v3->v4:
- Drop patch that switched vm_unmap_alias() calls to regular flush
- Add patch to address correctness previously fixed in dropped patch

v2->v3:
- Split into two patches

v1->v2:
- Update commit message with more detail
- Fix flush end range on !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP case

Rick Edgecombe (2):
vmalloc: Fix calculation of direct map addr range
vmalloc: Avoid rare case of flushing tlb with weird arguements
