CVE-2022-49666

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/memhotplug: Add add_pages override for PPC

With commit ffa0b64e3be5 ("powerpc: Fix virt_addr_valid() for 64-bit Book3E & 32-bit") the kernel now validate the addr against high_memory value. This results in the below BUG_ON with dax pfns.

The fix is to make sure we update high_memory on memory hotplug. This is similar to what x86 does in commit 3072e413e305 ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_pages")
