Subject: [PATCH 3/3] vhost: fix mmap error check in VDUSE IOTLB miss handler
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 14:49:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108134951.3857110-4-maxime.coquelin@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108134951.3857110-1-maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>
The mmap() function returns MAP_FAILED on failure, not NULL.
The current check for !mmap_addr will never detect mmap failures.
When mmap fails but the error is not detected, an invalid address (-1)
is inserted into the IOTLB cache via vhost_user_iotlb_cache_insert().
Subsequent attempts to access this address will cause memory
corruption or crash.
Fix by checking for MAP_FAILED instead of NULL. Also add strerror to
the error message for easier debugging.
Fixes: f27d5206c598 ("vhost: add VDUSE callback for IOTLB miss")
