Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm/damon: align MMU notifier range when clearing PTE young bit
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 06:40:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-181099@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021-damon-align-pte-young-notifier-v1-1-d0365ac45b66@gentwo.org>
> DAMON selects a byte-granular sampling address. damon_ptep_mkold()
> clears the young bit of the PTE covering that address, but passes the
> unaligned range [addr, addr + PAGE_SIZE) to MMU notifiers.
>
> For an unaligned address, that range extends into the following page.
> KVM ages every guest page intersecting the notifier range, so it can age
> a secondary mapping for the following page although DAMON cleared only
> the sampled page's primary PTE.
>
> Align the address before both the primary PTE operation and the
> MMU notifier call so that they cover the same page.
>
> Fixes: 3f49584b262c ("mm/damon: implement primitives for the virtual memory address spaces")
