coverity flagged this code in __get_user_pages 448 if (is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)) { 449 i = follow_hugetlb_page(mm, vma, pages, vmas, 450 &start, &nr_pages, i, 451 gup_flags); 452 continue; 453 } It seems unaware that follow_hugetlb_page can in some cases return -EFAULT. I'm not sure if this is triggerable, but it looks dangerous. Dave -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
