Patch series "memfd-pin huge page fixes".
Fix multiple bugs that occur when using memfd_pin_folios with hugetlb pages and THP. The hugetlb bugs only bite when the page is not yet faulted in when memfd_pin_folios is called. The THP bug bites when the starting offset passed to memfd_pin_folios is not huge page aligned. See the commit messages for details.
This patch (of 5):
memfd_pin_folios on memory backed by THP panics if the requested start offset is not huge page aligned:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000036 RIP: 0010:filemap_get_folios_contig+0xdf/0x290 RSP: 0018:ffffc9002092fbe8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000002 RBX: 0000000000000002 RCX: 0000000000000002
The fault occurs here, because xas_load returns a folio with value 2:
filemap_get_folios_contig() for (folio = xas_load(&xas); folio && xas.xa_index <= end; folio = xas_next(&xas)) { ... if (!folio_try_get(folio)) <-- BOOM
"2" is an xarray sibling entry. We get it because memfd_pin_folios does not round the indices passed to filemap_get_folios_contig to huge page boundaries for THP, so we load from the middle of a huge page range see a sibling. (It does round for hugetlbfs, at the is_file_hugepages test).
To fix, if the folio is a sibling, then return the next index as the starting point for the next call to filemap_get_folios_contig.
