Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: re-validate vma in mfill_atomic() loop under CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK
Author: kartikey406@xxxxxxxxx

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


Under CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK, mfill_atomic() holds only a per-VMA read
lock (vma_start_read) across its page-by-page copy loop. Unlike
mmap_read_lock, this does not prevent a concurrent mmap_write_lock()
from splitting the vma mid-loop via UFFDIO_UNREGISTER.

When the vma is split, vm_end of state.vma is shrunk in place. On the
next iteration, mfill_atomic_install_pte() calls folio_add_new_anon_rmap()
with state.dst_addr >= vma->vm_end, triggering the sanity check:

address < vma->vm_start || address + (nr << 12) > vma->vm_end
WARNING: mm/rmap.c:1682 folio_add_new_anon_rmap+0x5fe/0x14b0

Fix this by checking on each loop iteration whether state.dst_addr
has fallen outside state.vma. If so, release the stale vma, update
dst_start and len to reflect the current position, and re-lookup the
vma via mfill_get_vma().
