Hi Andrew,
Could you please update the commit message with something as
the following (I hope it will become a bit clearer now):
-------------
When VM_NO_GUARD is not set area->size includes adjacent guard page,
thus for correct size checking get_vm_area_size() should be used,
but not area->size.
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);
}

This fixes possible kernel crash when userspace tries to map area
on 1 page bigger: size check passes but the following vmalloc_to_page()
returns NULL on last guard (non-existing) page.
