Hi,

Jiri Slaby reported a kernel WARNING triggered by syzkaller.  It can
be reliably reproduced via fbdev mmap access on bochs drm.  The
warning looks like below:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 29356 at ../drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_bo_vm.c:265 ttm_bo_vm_open+0x11a/0x180 [ttm]()

The bug was confirmed to happen on the latest vanilla 4.5-rc6, too.
The reproducer code is attached below.

Judging from the code, it comes from the fact that
vma->vm_file->f_mapping via fbdev access isn't changed to bodev's
one.  In the case of /dev/dri/*, f_mapping is replaced in drm_open().
But, fbdev open doesn't change f_mapping, and its callback doesn't
take the file pointer, so there is no way to fiddle with it there,
either.

What's the preferred way to fix this?  I can think of several ways,
e.g.
- adding f_mapping pointer field in struct fb_info
- passing the file pointer in fbdev open callback so that f_mapping
  can be corrected
- adjusting f_mapping in vm_open dynamically (is it safe?)
or
- drop WARN_ON() :)


thanks,

Takashi
