[PATCH v1] fsnotify: Pass correct offset to fsnotify_mmap_perm()

From: Ryan Roberts

Date: Fri Oct 03 2025 - 11:53:05 EST


fsnotify_mmap_perm() requires a byte offset for the file about to be
mmap'ed. But it is called from vm_mmap_pgoff(), which has a page offset.
Previously the conversion was done incorrectly so let's fix it, being
careful not to overflow on 32-bit platforms.

Discovered during code review.

Applies against today's mm-unstable (aa05a436eca8).

Thanks,
Ryan
