This fixes possible kernel oops when userspace tries to mmap an area on 1 page bigger than was allocated by vmalloc_user() call: the size check inside remap_vmalloc_range_partial() accounts non-existing guard page also, so check successfully passes but vmalloc_to_page() returns NULL (guard page does not physically exist). The following code pattern example should trigger an oops: static int oops_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma) { void *mem; mem = vmalloc_user(4096); BUG_ON(!mem); /* Do not care about mem leak */ return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, mem, 0); } And userspace simply mmaps size + PAGE_SIZE: mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); Possible candidates for oops which do not have any explicit size checks: *** drivers/media/usb/stkwebcam/stk-webcam.c: v4l_stk_mmap[789] ret = remap_vmalloc_range(vma, sbuf->buffer, 0); Or the following one: *** drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c static int fb_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct * vma) ... res = fb->fb_mmap(info, vma); Where fb_mmap callback calls remap_vmalloc_range() directly without any explicit checks: *** drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c static int vfb_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma) { return remap_vmalloc_range(vma, (void *)info->fix.smem_start, vma->vm_pgoff); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190103145954.16942-2-rpenyaev@xxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Roman Penyaev <rpenyaev@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Luis R.
