Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 19:40:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-v5-0-d97a5703e45a@google.com> (raw)
Here's a fifth revision to fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure.
This patch series addresses an issue in the memory failure handling path
where MF_DELAYED is incorrectly treated as an error. This issue was
discovered while testing memory failure handling for guest_memfd.
The proposed solution involves -
1. Clarifying the definition of MF_DELAYED to mean that memory failure
handling is only partially completed, and that the metadata for the
memory that failed (as in struct page/folio) is still referenced.
2. Updating shmem’s handling to align with the clarified definition.
3. Updating how the result of .error_remove_folio() is interpreted.
Changes from v4:
+ Add "fallthrough;" in the memory-failure test, as suggested by David
+ Add Fixes tags in the commit message, as suggested by Miaohe
+ Rebase to the branch "mm-stable"
+ Split the KVM selftests to the future series
Thanks for review from Ackerley, Andrew, David and Miaohe!
+ RFC v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260602-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-v4-0-a5bc7db5a9b2@google.com/
