The actual code ignores vma->vm_pgoff > 0 scenario and mapped
the entire map->pages[i]. Why the entire map->pages[i] needs to be mapped
if vma->vm_pgoff > 0 (in original code) ?

are you referring to set vma->vm_pgoff = 0 irrespective of value passed
from user space ? If yes, using vm_map_pages_zero() is an alternate
option.

In original code ->

diff --git a/drivers/xen/gntdev.c b/drivers/xen/gntdev.c
index 559d4b7f807d..469dfbd6cf90 100644

int count = vma_pages(vma);

Count is user passed value.

struct gntdev_grant_map *map;
- int i, err = -EINVAL;
+ int err = -EINVAL;
if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE) && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED))
return -EINVAL;

- err = vm_insert_page(vma, vma->vm_start + i*PAGE_SIZE,
- map->pages[i]);

and when count > i , we end up with trying to map memory outside
boundary of map->pages[i], which was not correct.

- if (err)
- goto out_put_map;
- }
+ err = vm_map_pages(vma, map->pages, map->count);
+ if (err)
+ goto out_put_map;

With this commit, inside __vm_map_pages(), we have addressed this scenario.

+static int __vm_map_pages(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page **pages,
+ unsigned long num, unsigned long offset)
+{
+ unsigned long count = vma_pages(vma);
+ unsigned long uaddr = vma->vm_start;
+ int ret, i;
+
+ /* Fail if the user requested offset is beyond the end of the object */
+ if (offset > num)
+ return -ENXIO;
+
+ /* Fail if the user requested size exceeds available object size */
+ if (count > num - offset)
+ return -ENXIO;

By checking count > num -offset. (considering vma->vm_pgoff != 0 as well).
So we will never cross the boundary of map->pages[i].

How ?

Did you hit any issue around this code in real time ?
