Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable] Revert "mm/khugepaged: remove redundant transhuge_vma_suitable() check"
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2022 04:13:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220720111318.1831708-1-zokeefe@google.com> (raw)

A pmd should not cross a VMA boundary, which is normally enforced by
vma_adjust_trans_huge(), and assumed by e.g. __split_huge_pmd_locked().

In this regard, the transhuge_vma_suitable() check in
hugepage_vma_check() is not redundant with the transhuge_vma_suitable()
check previously in hugepage_vma_revalidate().

The former validates the VMA itself, and checks that *some* memory
in the VMA is suitable to collapse while the latter validates if
collapsing at a specific address is suitable.  By removing the check on
the faulting address, we've inadvertently allowed collapse of a pmd that
can cross vma->vm_end. Revert this change.

Apologies, Andrew. I think you've put the series description into this
first patch (thank you).  Do you mind moving it into the next patch in the
series,
"mm: khugepaged: don't carry huge page to the next loop for !CONFIG_NUMA"?
Note that the "mm: userspace hugepage collapse, v7" series doesn't actually
depend on this patch, it was just a cleanup (and thus perhaps I shouldn't have
included it in the series in the first place).
