[PATCH v2] vhost/vdpa: reject overflowing PA map page counts on 32-bit

From: Yousef Alhouseen

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 17:52:24 EST


vhost_vdpa_pa_map() adds the IOVA page offset to the user-controlled map
size before computing the number of pages to pin. On 32-bit systems,
where unsigned long is narrower than u64, that addition can overflow and
the code can pin and map fewer pages than the requested IOTLB range.

Reject sizes that overflow the unsigned long page-count calculation.

Changes in v2:
- Clarify that the overflow is on 32-bit systems.
- Drop the unrelated memlock check change.
