Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmd
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 06:45:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707135255.292870-4-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707135255.292870-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
madvise_free_pte_range() checks pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) unlocked, then
madvise_free_huge_pmd() takes pmd_trans_huge_lock().
pmd_is_huge() returns true for a device-private PMD, so orig_pmd can
be device-private and hit the VM_BUG_ON() on the !pmd_present() branch.
Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver races with madvise(MADV_FREE):
migrate_vma_pages() flips the PMD to a device-private entry between the
caller's pmd_trans_huge() check and the callee's pmd_trans_huge_lock().
Skip device-private PMDs after taking the lock, before the
!pmd_present() check.
Fixes: 368076f52ebe ("mm/huge_memory: add device-private THP support to PMD operations")
