Subject: mm/gup: fix wrongly calculated returned value in fault_in_safe_writeable()
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:57:14 +0800
Not like fault_in_readable() or fault_in_writeable(), in
fault_in_safe_writeable() local variable 'start' is increased page by page
to loop till the whole address range is handled. However, it mistakenly
calculates the size of the handled range with 'uaddr - start'.
Fix it here.
Andreas said:
: In gfs2, fault_in_iov_iter_writeable() is used in
: gfs2_file_direct_read() and gfs2_file_read_iter(), so this potentially
: affects buffered as well as direct reads. This bug could cause those
: gfs2 functions to spin in a loop.
