i386: fix iounmap's use of vm_struct's size field
get_vm_area always returns an area with an adjacent guard page. That guard page is included in vm_struct.size. iounmap uses vm_struct.size to determine how much address space needs to have change_page_attr applied to it, which will BUG if applied to the guard page. This patch adds a helper function - get_vm_area_size() in linux/vmalloc.h - to return the actual size of a vm area, and uses it to make iounmap do the right thing. There are probably other places which should be using get_vm_area_size(). Thanks to Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> for debugging the problem. [ Andi, it wasn't clear to me whether x86_64 needs the same fix. ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
