[PATCH v3] Fix null-ptr-deref in bio_integrity_map_user()

From: Sungwoo Kim

Date: Sun Apr 19 2026 - 22:05:32 EST


pin_user_pages_fast() can partially succeed and return the number of
pages that were actually pinned. However, the bio_integrity_map_user()
does not handle this partial pinning. This leads to a general protection
fault since bvec_from_pages() dereferences an unpinned page address,
which is 0.

To fix this, add a check to verify that all requested memory is pinned.

- Added a reproducer
- V2 incorrectly assumed pin_user_pages_fast() returns pages.
