Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmd
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:55:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710105557.1987433-4-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710105557.1987433-1-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 enter the !pmd_present() branch.

Skip device-private PMDs in that non-present branch and continue to out
before calling pmd_folio(). Downgrade the check to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() so
an unexpected PMD softleaf logs a warning rather than panicking. Drop
the thp_migration_supported() guard: it expands to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_SOFTLEAF), and both
pmd_is_migration_entry() and pmd_is_device_private_entry() already
return false when that config is not selected, so the guard suppresses
only the case where the warning would already be silent.

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().
