Subject: Re: [syzbot] [mm?] WARNING in follow_page_pte
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2025 16:49:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250806111922.669-1-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <68930511.050a0220.7f033.003a.GAE@google.com>
#syz test
In commit_anon_folio_batch(), we iterate over all pages pointed to by the
PTE batch. Therefore we need to know the first page of the batch;
currently we derive that via folio_page(folio, 0), but, that takes us
to the first (head) page of the folio instead - our PTE batch may lie
in the middle of the folio, leading to incorrectness.
Bite the bullet and throw away the micro-optimization of reusing the
folio in favour of code simplicity. Derive the page and the folio in
change_pte_range, and pass the page too to commit_anon_folio_batch to
fix the aforementioned issue.
Also, instead of directly adding to the stuct page *page pointer, use
the nth_page() macro for safety.
Fixes: cac1db8c3aad ("mm: optimize mprotect() by PTE batching")
