Subject: mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix incorrect vmemmap restore in rollback
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:52:13 +0800
vmemmap_restore_pte() rebuilds restored vmemmap pages from a tail-page
template derived from compound_head(). This is wrong when the current PTE
already maps a page whose contents are not tail-page metadata.
In the rollback path of vmemmap_remap_free(), the first restored PTE is
backed by vmemmap_head and contains head-page metadata. Reconstructing
that page from a tail-page template overwrites the head-page state and
corrupts the restored vmemmap page.
Fix this by copying the full page from the page currently mapped by the
PTE. Also pass vmemmap_tail to the rollback walk so only PTEs backed by
the shared tail page are restored, while the head PTE remains mapped to
vmemmap_head. Add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for unexpected cases.
