Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] mm/gup: check for overflow when converting nr_pages to bytes in GUP-fast
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 13:04:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111180419.3728532-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109201826-failed-6.1-21a3888d3d2f@kernel.org>
From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 21a3888d3d2f87b7f15ccea1f0befd57346fe899 ]
The overflow check in gup_fast_fallback() only covers the addition to
start. The preceding nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT can already have truncated
the length on 32bit.
Users such as RapidIO's rio_dma_transfer() can derive such page counts
from a 64-bit userspace length.
Let's just check_shl_overflow() to reject any such overflow with
-EOVERFLOW early.
