Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/memmap: bound io_pin_pages() by page array byte size
Author: karti...@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


io_pin_pages() checks that nr_pages does not exceed INT_MAX, then
allocates a struct page * array of nr_pages entries. kvmalloc() limits
allocations to INT_MAX bytes, but the check counts pages, not bytes.
On 64-bit each entry is 8 bytes, so the array hits the INT_MAX byte
limit at INT_MAX / sizeof(struct page *) pages, well before the page
count check fires.

Since commit d760d3f59f0d ("io_uring/rsrc: raise registered buffer 1GB
limit") raised the per-buffer cap to 1TB, a buffer near that cap maps
~2^28 pages, making the array allocation exceed INT_MAX bytes. This
passes the page count check, reaches kvmalloc(), and triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE() for oversized allocations in __kvmalloc_node_noprof().

Check nr_pages against INT_MAX / sizeof(struct page *) so the buffer is
rejected with -EOVERFLOW before the allocation is attempted.
