Subject: hugetlbfs: check for pgoff value overflow

From: Mike Kravetz <[email protected]>

commit 63489f8e821144000e0bdca7e65a8d1cc23a7ee7 upstream.

A vma with vm_pgoff large enough to overflow a loff_t type when converted to a byte offset can be passed via the remap_file_pages system call. The hugetlbfs mmap routine uses the byte offset to calculate reservations and file size.

A sequence such as:

  mmap(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x66033, -1, 0);
  remap_file_pages(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x20000000000000, 0);

will result in the following when task exits/file closed,

kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:749!

  Call Trace:
    hugetlbfs_evict_inode+0x2f/0x40
    evict+0xcb/0x190
    __dentry_kill+0xcb/0x150
    __fput+0x164/0x1e0
    task_work_run+0x84/0xa0
    exit_to_usermode_loop+0x7d/0x80
    do_syscall_64+0x18b/0x190
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

The overflowed pgoff value causes hugetlbfs to try to set up a mapping with a negative range (end < start) that leaves invalid state which causes the BUG.

The previous overflow fix to this code was incomplete and did not take the remap_file_pages system call into account.
