Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: validate dst_addr after re-acquiring VMA lock in mfill_copy_folio_retry
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops the VMA lock to perform
copy_from_user() without holding it, then reacquires it
via mfill_get_vma(). However, mfill_get_vma() only validates
that dst_start is within the VMA bounds, not dst_addr (the
current page being processed).
A concurrent UFFDIO_UNREGISTER can split the VMA during the
window where the lock is dropped, shrinking vma->vm_end. When
mfill_get_vma() reacquires the lock, it finds the VMA using
dst_start which may still be valid, but dst_addr may now fall
outside the split VMA's bounds.
This causes folio_add_new_anon_rmap() to trigger its sanity
check:
address < vma->vm_start || address + (nr << 12) > vma->vm_end
WARNING: mm/rmap.c:1682 folio_add_new_anon_rmap+0x5fe/0x14b0
Fix this by validating dst_addr against the reacquired VMA
bounds after mfill_get_vma() returns in mfill_copy_folio_retry().
