[PATCH v2] mm/migrate_device: avoid out-of-bounds writes for compound folios
From: Hui Su
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 08:10:39 EST
migrate_device_range() and migrate_device_pfns() clear the entries
following a compound folio so that the PFN arrays retain their
page-granular representation.
If a compound folio extends beyond the end of the caller-provided range,
the loops clear all following folio entries without limiting them to the
number of slots remaining in the npages-sized array, causing an
out-of-bounds write.
Do not proceed with a compound folio if its page-granular representation
does not fit entirely in the remaining PFN array. If this happens, drop
any reference and lock acquired for the folio, clear the remaining
entries, and stop collecting.
Observed with a KASAN x86 QEMU kernel using the HMM
migrate_anon_huge_zero selftest. Closing /dev/hmm_dmirror0 after
migrating an anonymous huge page to device memory exercises:
dmirror_fops_release()
-> dmirror_device_evict_chunk()
-> migrate_device_range()

Changes in v2:
- Do not partially represent a compound folio when it does not fit in
the remaining PFN array.
- Drop any reference and lock acquired for that folio, clear the
remaining entries, and stop collecting, as suggested by Balbir Singh.
