Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] mm/memory: constrain generic_access_phys() to page boundary
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 22:12:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1788531737.git.rakukuip@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Luxiao Xu <rakukuip@gmail.com>
Hi all,
This is v2 of the fix for generic_access_phys() out-of-bounds mapping.
In v1, we attempted to handle multi-page ranges by adding an internal
chunk loop inside generic_access_phys(). Following feedback from David
Hildenbrand, we realized that caller (__access_remote_vm) already has an
outer loop and handles normal pages chunk-by-chunk.
Instead of duplicating the loop logic in generic_access_phys(), v2
clamps the access length passed to ->access() in __access_remote_vm() to
not cross the page boundary (PAGE_SIZE - offset_in_page(addr)). Because
all VMAs are page-aligned, this also naturally ensures accesses never
cross VMA boundaries. Each page access is then driven by the outer loop,
looking up the VMA and resolving PFN/protections per page.
Additionally, we fixed the missing (resource_size_t) cast in PFN
comparison as pointed out by Andrew Morton.
Thanks,
Luxiao / Ren Wei
