commit f8be156be163a052a067306417cd0ff679068c97 upstream. It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1. When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly. Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero, which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be released with put_page). This addresses CVE-2021-22543.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
