vmap() takes struct page *pages as one of arguments, and user may provide an invalid pointer which would lead to DABT at address translation later. Currently, kernel checks the pages against NULL. In my case, however, the address was not NULL, and was big enough so that the hardware generated Address Size Abort on arm64. Interestingly, this abort happens even if copy_from_kernel_nofault() is used, which is quite inconvenient for debugging purposes. This patch adds a pfn_valid() check into vmap() path, so that invalid mapping will not be created. RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/1/18/815 v1: use pfn_valid() instead of adding an arch-specific arch_vmap_page_valid(). Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for the hint.
