mm: fix invalid page pointer returned with FOLL_PIN gups
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 commit4b6c33b322
("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 commit1027e4436b
("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 commit3faa52c03f
("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 than1027e4436b
