Subject: [PATCH] mm: do not call do_fault_around for non-linear fault
Ingo Korb reported that "repeated mapping of the same file on tmpfs
using remap_file_pages sometimes triggers a BUG at mm/filemap.c:202 when
the process exits".
He bisected the bug to d7c1755179b8 ("mm: implement ->map_pages for
shmem/tmpfs"), although the bug was actually added by commit
8c6e50b0290c ("mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()").
The problem is caused by calling do_fault_around for a _non-linear_
fault. In this case pgoff is shifted and might become negative during
calculation.
Faulting around non-linear page-fault makes no sense and breaks the
logic in do_fault_around because pgoff is shifted.
