Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/userfaultfd: fix PTE table overruns in UFFDIO_MOVE
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:59:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111-pte_table_clamped_end-v1-1-2dbe339c487a@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111-pte_table_clamped_end-v1-0-2dbe339c487a@kernel.org>
With a folded PMD, pmd_addr_end() simply returns the supplied end.
move_present_ptes() can therefore walk past the source or destination
PTE table during UFFDIO_MOVE.
pmd_addr_end() is only intended for page table traversal, in patterns
like "next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);". With folded PMDs, a higher level
has already clamped the range to the PTE table.
Folded PMDs are uncommon, but can occur even on arm64, for example
with 64K pages and a 42-bit virtual address space.
Extract the calculation from folio_pte_range() into
pte_table_clamped_end() and use it to clamp both ranges. This preserves
the wraparound handling from commit f681d4580d5c ("mm: fix address
wraparound when scanning large folio PTEs").
Fixes: 50944692052b ("userfaultfd: opportunistic TLB-flush batching for present pages in MOVE")
