commit 7fcbd9785d4c17ea533c42f20a9083a83f301fa6 upstream.
pgoff should be aligned using ALIGN_DOWN() instead of ALIGN(). Otherwise,
vmf->address not aligned to fault_size will be aligned to the next
alignment, that can result in memory failure getting the wrong address.
It's a subtle situation that only can be observed in
page_mapped_in_vma() after the page is page fault handled by
dev_dax_huge_fault. Generally, there is little chance to perform
page_mapped_in_vma in dev-dax's page unless in specific error injection
to the dax device to trigger an MCE - memory-failure. In that case,
page_mapped_in_vma() will be triggered to determine which task is
accessing the failure address and kill that task in the end.
We used self-developed dax device (which is 2M aligned mapping) , to
perform error injection to random address. It turned out that error
injected to non-2M-aligned address was causing endless MCE until panic.
Because page_mapped_in_vma() kept resulting wrong address and the task
accessing the failure address was never killed properly:

It took us several weeks to pinpoint this problem, but we eventually
used bpftrace to trace the page fault and mce address and successfully
identified the issue.
