commit 7196040e19ad634293acd3eff7083149d7669031 upstream.
Patch series "mm/gup: some cleanups", v5.
This patch (of 5):
Alex reported invalid page pointer returned with pin_user_pages_remote()
from vfio after upstream commit 4b6c33b32296 ("vfio/type1: Prepare for
batched pinning with struct vfio_batch").
It turns out that it's not the fault of the vfio commit; however after
vfio switches to a full page buffer to store the page pointers it starts
to expose the problem easier.
The problem is for VM_PFNMAP vmas we should normally fail with an
-EFAULT then vfio will carry on to handle the MMIO regions. However
when the bug triggered, follow_page_mask() returned -EEXIST for such a
page, which will jump over the current page, leaving that entry in
**pages untouched. However the caller is not aware of it, hence the
caller will reference the page as usual even if the pointer data can be
anything.
We had that -EEXIST logic since commit 1027e4436b6a ("mm: make GUP
handle pfn mapping unless FOLL_GET is requested") which seems very
reasonable. It could be that when we reworked GUP with FOLL_PIN we
could have overlooked that special path in commit 3faa52c03f44 ("mm/gup:
track FOLL_PIN pages"), even if that commit rightfully touched up
follow_devmap_pud() on checking FOLL_PIN when it needs to return an
-EEXIST.
Attaching the Fixes to the FOLL_PIN rework commit, as it happened later
than 1027e4436b6a.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
