CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/.html

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/fixmap: Fix VM debug warning on unmap

Unmapping a fixmap entry is done by calling __set_fixmap() with FIXMAP_PAGE_CLEAR as flags.

Today, powerpc __set_fixmap() calls map_kernel_page().

map_kernel_page() is not happy when called a second time for the same page.
