The previous code added a\ndevice-linear byte offset to virt_addr (which is __va of ranges[0]),\nbut for multi-range devices with physical gaps between ranges, this\nlinear arithmetic crosses the gap and produces a wrong kernel virtual\naddress. Using __va(phys) where phys comes from dax_pgoff_to_phys()\nis correct for any range layout because the direct map translates\neach physical address independently.\n\nThis leaves dev_dax-\u003evirt_addr write-only, so remove the field\n(suggested by Dave Jiang)."

No network protocol carries that pgoff.\nAC:L - Once a gapped multi-range fsdev_dax device is bound, any I/O whose pgoff dax_pgoff_to_phys() places in a later range makes virt_addr+offset a deterministic wrong linear-map address; the attacker chooses the file offset that yields that pgoff, with no race.\nPR:L - dax_match_type() never auto-binds DAXDRV_FSDEV_TYPE (admin new_id) and fs_dax_get() is the mount-time holder, but dax_direct_access() then has no capability check, so an unprivileged user with file access on the mounted FS-DAX tree reaches the bad kaddr via read/write/fallocate.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bad kaddr solely by their own read, write, fallocate, or page-fault on files they can already open; this is not attacker-supplied media that a victim must mount.\nS:U - dax_copy_from_iter(), dax_copy_to_iter(), and fsdev_write_dax() use the wrong host-kernel __va() pointer; impact stays in the host kernel and does not cross a KVM, IOMMU, or other VM-escape boundary.\nC:H - dax_iomap_iter() calls dax_copy_to_iter() from virt_addr+offset, which for a later range is __va of the physical gap (another dax mapping in the same region, or System RAM), so a file read discloses that memory.\nI:H - dax_copy_from_iter() and fsdev_dax_zero_page_range()\u0027s fsdev_write_dax() write attacker bytes or PAGE_SIZE zeros through the same wrong kaddr into the gap, giving a kernel write into adjacent DAX or RAM.\nA:H - memcpy_flushcache() or copy through a kaddr that lands in an unmapped gap oopses the kernel; even a successful wrong-address write can panic by corrupting adjacent structures."
