Subject: mm/pagewalk.c: fix walk_page_range() access of wrong PTEs
From: Chen LinX <linx.z.chen@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 3017f079efd6af199b0852b5c425364513db460e upstream.
When walk_page_range walk a memory map's page tables, it'll skip
VM_PFNMAP area, then variable 'next' will to assign to vma->vm_end, it
maybe larger than 'end'. In next loop, 'addr' will be larger than
'next'. Then in /proc/XXXX/pagemap file reading procedure, the 'addr'
will growing forever in pagemap_pte_range, pte_to_pagemap_entry will
access the wrong pte.
