This was noted by Jan Kara in 2018[1] and more recently has resulted in bug reports by Syzbot in various Android kernels[2]. This is technically a bug in the mm/gup.c codepath, but arguably ext4 is fragile in that a buggy get_user_pages() implementation causes ext4 to crash, where as other file systems are not crashing (although in some cases the user data will be lost since gup code is not properly informing the file system to potentially allocate blocks or reserve space when writing into a sparse portion of file). I suspect in real life it is rare that people are using RDMA into file-backed memory, which is why no one has complained to ext4 developers except fuzzing programs. So instead of crashing with a BUG, issue a warning (since there may be potential data loss) and just mark the page as clean to avoid unprivileged denial of service attacks until the problem can be properly fixed. More discussion and background can be found in the thread starting at [2].
