Hi Santosh,
Thanks for this.

The Commit:6d674e28 introduces a notion to detect and handle the
device mapping. The commit checks for the VM_PFNMAP flag is set
in vma->flags and if set then marks force_pte to true such that
if force_pte is true then ignore the THP function check
(/transparent_hugepage_adjust()).
There could be an issue with the VM_PFNMAP flag setting and checking.
For example consider a case where the mdev vendor driver register's
the vma_fault handler named vma_mmio_fault(), which maps the
host MMIO region in-turn calls remap_pfn_range() and maps
the MMIO's vma space. Where, remap_pfn_range implicitly sets
the VM_PFNMAP flag into vma->flags.
Now lets assume a mmio fault handing flow where guest first access
the MMIO region whose 2nd stage translation is not present.
So that results to arm64-kvm hypervisor executing guest abort handler,
like below:
kvm_handle_guest_abort() -->
user_mem_abort()--> {
...
0. checks the vma->flags for the VM_PFNMAP.
1. Since VM_PFNMAP flag is not yet set so force_pte _is_ false;
2. gfn_to_pfn_prot() -->
__gfn_to_pfn_memslot() -->
fixup_user_fault() -->
handle_mm_fault()-->
__do_fault() -->
vma_mmio_fault() --> // vendor's mdev fault
handler
remap_pfn_range()--> // Here sets the VM_PFNMAP
flag into vma->flags.
3. Now that force_pte is set to false in step-2),
will execute transparent_hugepage_adjust() func and
that lead to Oops [4].
}
Hmmm. Nice. Any chance you could provide us with an actual reproducer?
The proposition is to check is_iomap flag before executing the THP
function transparent_hugepage_adjust().

Why don't you directly set force_pte to true at the point where we
update
the flags? It certainly would be a bit more readable:
