The bug happens when highest bit of holebegin is 1, suppose holebegin is
0x8000000111111000, after shift, hba would be 0xfff8000000111111, then
vma_interval_tree_foreach would look it up fail or leads to the wrong
result.
error call seq e.g.:
- mmap(..., offset=0x8000000111111000)
|- syscall(mmap, ... unsigned long, off):
|- ksys_mmap_pgoff( ... , off >> PAGE_SHIFT);
here pgoff is correctly shifted to 0x8000000111111,
but pass 0x8000000111111000 as holebegin to unmap
would then cause terrible result, as shown below:
- unmap_mapping_range(..., loff_t const holebegin)
|- pgoff_t hba = holebegin >> PAGE_SHIFT;
/* hba = 0xfff8000000111111 unexpectedly */
The issue happens in Heterogeneous computing, where the device(e.g.
gpu) and host share the same virtual address space.
A simple workflow pattern which hit the issue is:
/* host */
1. userspace first mmap a file backed VA range with specified offset.
e.g. (offset=0x800..., mmap return: va_a)
2. write some data to the corresponding sys page
e.g. (va_a = 0xAABB)
/* device */
3. gpu workload touches VA, triggers gpu fault and notify the host.
/* host */
4. reviced gpu fault notification, then it will:
4.1 unmap host pages and also takes care of cpu tlb
(use unmap_mapping_range with offset=0x800...)
4.2 migrate sys page to device
4.3 setup device page table and resolve device fault.
/* device */
5. gpu workload continued, it accessed va_a and got 0xAABB.
6. gpu workload continued, it wrote 0xBBCC to va_a.
/* host */
7. userspace access va_a, as expected, it will:
7.1 trigger cpu vm fault.
7.2 driver handling fault to migrate gpu local page to host.
8. userspace then could correctly get 0xBBCC from va_a
9. done
But in step 4.1, if we hit the bug this patch mentioned, then userspace
would never trigger cpu fault, and still get the old value: 0xAABB.
Making holebegin unsigned first fixes the bug.

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.
