When bootup a PVM guest with large memory(Ex.240GB), XEN provided initial mapping overlaps with kernel module virtual space. When mapping in this space is cleared by xen_cleanhighmap(), in certain case there could be an 2MB mapping left. This is due to XEN initialize 4MB aligned mapping but xen_cleanhighmap() finish at 2MB boundary. When module loading is just on top of the 2MB space, got below warning: WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:106 vmap_pte_range+0x14e/0x190() Call Trace: [<ffffffff81117083>] warn_alloc_failed+0xf3/0x160 [<ffffffff81146022>] __vmalloc_area_node+0x182/0x1c0 [<ffffffff810ac91e>] ? module_alloc_update_bounds+0x1e/0x80 [<ffffffff81145df7>] __vmalloc_node_range+0xa7/0x110 [<ffffffff810ac91e>] ? module_alloc_update_bounds+0x1e/0x80 [<ffffffff8103ca54>] module_alloc+0x64/0x70 [<ffffffff810ac91e>] ? module_alloc_update_bounds+0x1e/0x80 [<ffffffff810ac91e>] module_alloc_update_bounds+0x1e/0x80 [<ffffffff810ac9a7>] move_module+0x27/0x150 [<ffffffff810aefa0>] layout_and_allocate+0x120/0x1b0 [<ffffffff810af0a8>] load_module+0x78/0x640 [<ffffffff811ff90b>] ? security_file_permission+0x8b/0x90 [<ffffffff810af6d2>] sys_init_module+0x62/0x1e0 [<ffffffff815154c2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Then the mapping of 2MB is cleared, finally oops when the page in that space is accessed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
