dax: fix device-dax region base
The data offset for a dax region needs to account for a reservation in the resource range. Otherwise, device-dax is allowing mappings directly into the memmap or device-info-block area with crash signatures like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: get_zone_device_page+0x11/0x30 Call Trace: follow_devmap_pmd+0x298/0x2c0 follow_page_mask+0x275/0x530 __get_user_pages+0xe3/0x750 __gfn_to_pfn_memslot+0x1b2/0x450 [kvm] tdp_page_fault+0x130/0x280 [kvm] kvm_mmu_page_fault+0x5f/0xf0 [kvm] handle_ept_violation+0x94/0x180 [kvm_intel] vmx_handle_exit+0x1d3/0x1440 [kvm_intel] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x81d/0x16a0 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x33c/0x620 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0xa2/0x5d0 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 Fixes: ab68f2622136 ("/dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147205536732.1606.8994275381938837346.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reported-by: Abhilash Kumar Mulumudi <m.abhilash-kumar@hpe.com> Reported-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> Tested-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
