From: Punit Agrawal punit.agrawal@arm.com
commit c507babf10ead4d5c8cca704539b170752a8ac84 upstream.
KVM only supports PMD hugepages at stage 2 but doesn't actually check that the provided hugepage memory pagesize is PMD_SIZE before populating stage 2 entries.
In cases where the backing hugepage size is smaller than PMD_SIZE (such as when using contiguous hugepages), KVM can end up creating stage 2 mappings that extend beyond the supplied memory.
Fix this by checking for the pagesize of userspace vma before creating PMD hugepage at stage 2.
