4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Robin Murphy <[email protected]> commit 488debb9971bc7d0edd6d8080ba78ca02a04f6c4 upstream. When borrowing the pfn_valid() check from mmap_kmem(), somebody managed to get physical and virtual addresses spectacularly muddled up, such that we've ended up with checks for one being the other. Whilst this does indeed prevent out-of-bounds accesses crashing, on most systems it also prevents the more desirable use-case of working at all ever. Check the *virtual* offset correctly for what it is. Furthermore, do so in the right place - a read or write may span multiple pages, so a single up-front check is insufficient. High memory accesses already have a similar validity check just before the copy_to_user() call, so just make the low memory path fully consistent with that. Reported-by: Jason A.
