CVE-2026-99004: drm/imagination: Size page table preallocation by device address

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

drm/imagination: Size page table preallocation by device address

Commit 0a8224058a58 ("drm/imagination: Fix page count for page table for map() interface") passed the device address to pvrmmuopcontextcreate(), but the preallocation is still sized from deviceaddr + sgtoffset with an exclusive end. The offset into the object's pages has no place in a device-virtual range, and the exclusive end allocates one table too many when the range ends on a table boundary.

Count the tables from deviceaddr and the inclusive end of the range.

The new calculation does not take page table indices into account. This fixes another issue with the previous implementation, where the difference between start and end indices could underflow when a mapping crossed a page table boundary. This would lead to the driver preallocating a huge number of MMU pages, exhausting system memory and triggering an out of memory panic.
