Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/mempolicy: skip non-present PMDs when queueing folios
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 05:20:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708122040.861335-2-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708122040.861335-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
queue_folios_pmd() is called under pmd_trans_huge_lock(), whose
pmd_is_huge() check returns true for any non-present, non-none PMD
softleaf. Passing such a PMD to pmd_folio() treats the softleaf encoding
as a hardware PFN and can return a bogus folio pointer.
Mirror queue_folios_pte_range(): handle non-present entries before
looking up a folio. Keep migration entries counted as failures, but skip
other non-present PMDs such as device-private entries.
Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver migrates an anonymous THP
folio to device memory via migrate_vma_pages(), leaving a device-private
PMD. Userspace then calls mbind(), migrate_pages() or
set_mempolicy_home_node() on that range.
