In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mshv_vtl: Fix vmemmap_shift exceeding MAX_FOLIO_ORD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mshv_vtl: Fix vmemmap_shift exceeding MAX_FOLIO_ORDER When registering VTL0 memory via MSHV_ADD_VTL0_MEMORY, the kernel computes pgmap-vmemmap_shift as the number of trailing zeros in the OR of start_pfn and last_pfn, intending to use the largest compound page order both endpoints are aligned to. However, this value is not clamped to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER, so a sufficiently aligned range (e.g. physical range [0x800000000000, 0x800080000000), corresponding to start_pfn=0x800000000 with 35 trailing zeros) can produce a shift larger than what memremap_pages() accepts, triggering a WARN and returning -EINVAL: WARNING: ... memremap_pages+0x512/0x650 requested folio size unsupported The MAX_FOLIO_ORDER check was added by commit 646b67d57589 ("mm/memremap: reject unreasonable folio/compound page sizes in memremap_pages()"). Fix this by clamping vmemmap_shift to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER so we always request the largest order the kernel supports, in those cases, rather than an out-of-range value.

Also fix the error path to propagate the actual error code from devm_memremap_pages() instead of hard-coding -EFAULT, which was masking the real -EINVAL return.
