    mm/migrate: fix do_pages_move for compat pointers · 229e2253
    Gregory Price authored
    do_pages_move does not handle compat pointers for the page list. 
    correctly.  Add in_compat_syscall check and appropriate get_user fetch
    when iterating the page list.
    
    It makes the syscall in compat mode (32-bit userspace, 64-bit kernel)
    work the same way as the native 32-bit syscall again, restoring the
    behavior before my broken commit 5b1b561b ("mm: simplify
    compat_sys_move_pages").
    
    More specifically, my patch moved the parsing of the 'pages' array from
    the main entry point into do_pages_stat(), which left the syscall
    working correctly for the 'stat' operation (nodes = NULL), while the
    'move' operation (nodes != NULL) is now missing the conversion and
    interprets 'pages' as an array of 64-bit pointers instead of the
    intended 32-bit userspace pointers.
    
    It is possible that nobody noticed this bug because the few
    applications that actually call move_pages are unlikely to run in
    compat mode because of their large memory requirements, but this
    clearly fixes a user-visible regression and should have been caught by
    ltp.
