[PATCH] vfio/type1: validate dirty bitmap page size before use

From: Yousef Alhouseen

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 15:17:30 EST


The dirty bitmap ioctl paths derive a shift with __ffs() from the
userspace supplied bitmap page size before comparing it with the IOMMU
page size. A zero page size has undefined behavior, and a non-power-of-2
value makes the bitmap size check use a different granularity than the
page size later accepted by the ioctl.

Reject invalid bitmap page sizes before using them in shift arithmetic.
