From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Alex reported invalid page pointer returned with pin_user_pages_remote() from
vfio after upstream commit 4b6c33b32296 ("vfio/type1: Prepare for batched
pinning with struct vfio_batch").  This problem breaks NVIDIA vfio mdev.

It turns out that it's not the fault of the vfio commit; however after vfio
switches to a full page buffer to store the page pointers it starts to expose
the problem easier.

The problem is for VM_PFNMAP vmas we should normally fail with an -EFAULT then
vfio will carry on to handle the MMIO regions.  However when the bug triggered,
follow_page_mask() returned -EEXIST for such a page, which will jump over the
current page, leaving that entry in **pages untouched.  However the caller is
not aware of it, hence the caller will reference the page as usual even if the
pointer data can be anything.

We had that -EEXIST logic since commit 1027e4436b6a ("mm: make GUP handle pfn
mapping unless FOLL_GET is requested") which seems very reasonable.  It could
be that when we reworked GUP with FOLL_PIN we could have overlooked that
special path in commit 3faa52c03f44 ("mm/gup: track FOLL_PIN pages"), even if
that commit rightfully touched up follow_devmap_pud() on checking FOLL_PIN when
it needs to return an -EEXIST.

Attaching the Fixes to the FOLL_PIN rework commit, as it happened later than
1027e4436b6a.
