Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/hugetlb: Preserve persistent flags when returning folios to the pool
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 10:49:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102024910.31486-3-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102024910.31486-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
add_hugetlb_folio() returns a folio to the HugeTLB pool when vmemmap
restoration fails. It clears folio->private and restores only
HPG_vmemmap_optimized, losing other flags that must survive the rollback.
Clearing HPG_cma causes a later free to bypass the CMA release path,
leaving the CMA allocation bitmap set. Clearing HPG_raw_hwp_unreliable
loses the indication that the locations of poisoned subpages are unknown,
undermining the checks that prevent freeing or unpoisoning such folios.
Preserve the existing flags instead of resetting folio->private. Callers
already clear HPG_restore_reserve, HPG_migratable and HPG_freed before
returning a folio to the pool. Clear HPG_temporary in free_huge_folio()
before attempting to free a temporary folio, so a failed vmemmap restore
does not leave that flag set on a folio returned as surplus.
Add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO() check for flags other than
HPG_vmemmap_optimized, HPG_raw_hwp_unreliable and HPG_cma to detect
incomplete transient flag cleanup.
Fixes: 161df60e9e89 ("mm, hwpoison, hugetlb: support saving mechanism of raw error pages")
Fixes: d2d786714080 ("mm/hugetlb: enable bootmem allocation from CMA areas")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-5363eb09-9c3c-4f8b-9f3c-a998a8c4b258
