The KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS ioctl may return incorrect values when userspace
specifies a start_gfn outside of memslots.
This can occur when a VM has multiple memslots with a hole in between:
+-----+----------+--------+--------+
| ... | Slot N-1 | <hole> | Slot N |
+-----+----------+--------+--------+
^ ^ ^ ^
| | | |
GFN A A+B | |
A+B+C |
A+B+C+D
When userspace specifies a GFN in [A+B, A+B+C), it would expect to get the
CMMA values of the first dirty page in Slot N. However, userspace may get a
start_gfn of A+B+C+D with a count of 0, hence completely skipping over any
dirty pages in slot N.
The error is in kvm_s390_next_dirty_cmma(), which assumes
gfn_to_memslot_approx() will return the memslot _below_ the specified GFN
when the specified GFN lies outside a memslot. In reality it may return
either the memslot below or above the specified GFN.
When a memslot above the specified GFN is returned this happens:
- ofs is calculated, but since the memslot's base_gfn is larger than the
specified cur_gfn, ofs will underflow to a huge number.
- ofs is passed to find_next_bit(). Since ofs will exceed the memslot's
number of pages, the number of pages in the memslot is returned,
completely skipping over all bits in the memslot userspace would be
interested in.
Fix this by resetting ofs to zero when a memslot _above_ cur_gfn is
returned (cur_gfn < ms->base_gfn).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
