Subject: [PATCH] KVM: guest_memfd: Restrict to order-0 folios until large folio support is implemented
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


The kvm_gmem_fault_user_mapping() function currently triggers a warning
when it receives large folios, as indicated by the WARN_ON_ONCE() at
line 416. The code comment in kvm_gmem_get_folio() clearly states
"TODO: Support huge pages", indicating that large folio support is not
yet implemented.

Without explicitly restricting the folio order, filemap_grab_folio() may
opportunistically allocate large folios when memory is available, causing
the warning to trigger and the page fault to fail with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS.

Fix this by explicitly setting the mapping's folio order range to (0, 0)
during inode initialization, ensuring only order-0 (single-page) folios
are allocated until proper large folio support is added.

Reproducer: mlock() on memory backed by guest_memfd with
GUEST_MEMFD_FLAG_INIT_SHARED triggers the warning when large folios
are allocated.
