Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/userfaultfd: fix hugetlb fault mutex hash calculation<br />
<br />
In mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), linear_page_index() is used to calculate the<br />
page index for hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash(). However, linear_page_index()<br />
returns the index in PAGE_SIZE units, while hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash()<br />
expects the index in huge page units. This mismatch means that different<br />
addresses within the same huge page can produce different hash values,<br />
leading to the use of different mutexes for the same huge page. This can<br />
cause races between faulting threads, which can corrupt the reservation<br />
map and trigger the BUG_ON in resv_map_release().<br />
<br />
Fix this by introducing hugetlb_linear_page_index(), which returns the<br />
page index in huge page granularity, and using it in place of<br />
linear_page_index().
