[PATCH 1/2] mm/uffd: Fix vma operation where start addr cuts part of vma

From: Peter Xu
Date: Wed May 17 2023 - 11:06:55 EST


It seems vma merging with uffd paths is broken with either
register/unregister, where right now we can feed wrong parameters to
vma_merge() and it's found by recent patch which moved asserts upwards in
vma_merge() by Lorenzo Stoakes:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZFunF7DmMdK05MoF@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The problem is in the current code base we didn't fixup "prev" for the case
where "start" address can be within the "prev" vma section. In that case
we should have "prev" points to the current vma rather than the previous
one when feeding to vma_merge().

This patch will eliminate the report and make sure vma_merge() calls will
become legal again.

One thing to mention is that the "Fixes: 29417d292bd0" below is there only
to help explain where the warning can start to trigger, the real commit to
fix should be 69dbe6daf104. Commit 29417d292bd0 helps us to identify the
issue, but unfortunately we may want to keep it in Fixes too just to ease
kernel backporters for easier tracking.
