Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/gup: fix gup_pud_range() for dax
For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long
as hugetlb is configured. However, dax doesn't depend on hugetlb.
Commit 414fd080d125 ("mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax") fixed
devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as
well.
This fixes the below kernel panic:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x69e7c000cc478: 0000 [#1] SMP
