[PATCH] mm/memory.c: make remap_pfn_range() reject unaligned addr

From: Kaiyu Zhang
Date: Wed Jun 17 2020 - 18:34:20 EST


From: Alex Zhang <zhangalex@xxxxxxxxxx>

This function implicitly assumes that the addr passed in is page aligned.
A non page aligned addr could ultimately cause a kernel bug in
remap_pte_range as the exit condition in the logic loop may never be
satisfied. This patch documents the need for the requirement, as
well as explicitly adding a check for it.
