Mike Kravetz 1e8628443e hugetlbfs: check for pgoff value overflow 
commit 63489f8e82 upstream.

A vma with vm_pgoff large enough to overflow a loff_t type when
converted to a byte offset can be passed via the remap_file_pages system
call.  The hugetlbfs mmap routine uses the byte offset to calculate
reservations and file size.

A sequence such as:

  mmap(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x66033, -1, 0);
  remap_file_pages(0x20a00000, 0x600000, 0, 0x20000000000000, 0);

will result in the following when task exits/file closed,

  kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:749!
  Call Trace:
    hugetlbfs_evict_inode+0x2f/0x40
    evict+0xcb/0x190
    __dentry_kill+0xcb/0x150
    __fput+0x164/0x1e0
    task_work_run+0x84/0xa0
    exit_to_usermode_loop+0x7d/0x80
    do_syscall_64+0x18b/0x190
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

The overflowed pgoff value causes hugetlbfs to try to set up a mapping
with a negative range (end < start) that leaves invalid state which
causes the BUG.

The previous overflow fix to this code was incomplete and did not take
the remap_file_pages system call into account.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
