From f454b478861325f067fd58ba7ee9f1b5c4a9d6a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 09:45:58 -0600 Subject: x86/ldt: Fix small LDT allocation for Xen While the following commit: 37868fe113 ("x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous") added a nice comment explaining that Xen needs page-aligned whole page chunks for guest descriptor tables, it then nevertheless used kzalloc() on the small size path. As I'm unaware of guarantees for kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE, ) to return page-aligned memory blocks, I believe this needs to be switched back to __get_free_page() (or better get_zeroed_page()).
