Subject: [PATCH] mm/rmap: use huge_ptep_get() in try_to_unmap_one()
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:28:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625042853.2752898-1-dev.jain@arm.com> (raw)

try_to_unmap_one() handles hugetlb folios when memory failure needs
to replace a poisoned hugetlb mapping with a hwpoison entry. In that
case page_vma_mapped_walk() returns the hugetlb entry in pvmw.pte, but
the code reads it with ptep_get() before decoding the PFN.

That is wrong on architectures where hugetlb entries are not encoded as
regular PTEs. On s390, for example, a raw huge RSTE must be converted
by huge_ptep_get() before helpers such as pte_pfn() can inspect it. A
raw decode can select the wrong subpage, so try_to_unmap_one() can
install a hwpoison entry for the wrong PFN.

The userspace-visible result is that a later access to the poisoned
hugetlb subpage can miss the expected SIGBUS. With DEBUG_VM, the wrong
subpage can also trip the PageHWPoison check.

Use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb mappings before decoding the PFN.

Before c7ab0d2fdc84, the bug existed in the form of a plain dereference:
we would check the head page pfn of the hugetlb with pte_pfn(*pte), and
bail out on mismatch. This would mean that the hwpoisoned entry will not
get installed.

I am not sure what is the procedure on such kinds of very old bugs - how
back should I really go?

Applies on mm-unstable (d17fe8a046a2).
There are similar old bugs present, in try_to_migrate_one(), check_pte(),
remove_migration_pte(), prot_none_hugetlb_entry().
