Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/3] bpf, arena: check range_tree_set return in arena_free_pages and arena_free_worker
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 21:40:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824134016.2006188-4-chenyuan_fl@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824134016.2006188-1-chenyuan_fl@163.com>
From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@kylinos.cn>
arena_free_pages() and arena_free_worker() now handle range_tree_set()
errors. arena_free_pages() aborts the free on error, and
arena_free_worker() moves range_tree_set() before PTE clearing so that a
failed tree update leaves the PTEs intact instead of freeing pages that
the arena free tree does not track.
Also check the range_tree_set() return value in arena_alloc_pages()'s
error path, which restores the unpopulated tail of a partially allocated
range; log a warning instead of silently leaking the virtual range when
the tree update fails.
range_tree_set() is failure-atomic (it pre-allocates the node before
touching the tree), so on -ENOMEM the range stays tracked as allocated
and the pages remain mapped and accessible. A failed free is therefore
retryable, and arena_map_free() reclaims any retained pages at map
destruction; aborting the free avoids clearing PTEs for pages the arena
free tree does not track.
In arena_free_worker() a failed tree update used to leave the span in
the drained list, where the second loop would still flush TLB entries,
zap user VMAs, and free the span itself: the free request was dropped,
user mappings were destroyed for a free that never happened, and the
pages stayed mapped until map destruction. Keep failed spans on
arena->free_spans instead and retry them on a later worker run; only
spans whose PTE clearing actually ran are flushed, zapped, and released.
