Subject: [PATCH v2 08/47] mm/filemap: finish fault cleanup before dropping the fault lock
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 21:33:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-fixes_core-v2-8-a64ce7f83abb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-fixes_core-v2-0-a64ce7f83abb@kernel.org>
On a retried fault, a fatal signal interrupting the folio lock wait
makes lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap() drop the fault lock without pinning
the file. However, filemap_fault() may still need to release
mapping->invalidate_lock. A concurrent munmap() can release the last
file reference and free the mapping before that unlock.
Defer dropping the fault lock to filemap_fault()'s retry cleanup, after
releasing invalidate_lock. If the fault lock was already dropped for
I/O, release the existing file reference instead. Keep the fault lock
held for FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT as before.
Fixes: 730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock")
