Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/migrate_device: Clear stale mapping after freeing swapcache
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 11:58:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728062832.1107127-1-arvind.yadav@intel.com> (raw)
__migrate_device_pages() reads the folio mapping before calling
folio_free_swap(). When folio_free_swap() succeeds, the folio is removed
from the swap cache, but the saved mapping still points to swap_space.
Passing the stale mapping to folio_migrate_mapping() makes it use the
mapped-folio path for a folio that is no longer in swapcache. It can
then operate on swap_space.i_pages with invalid reference accounting,
eventually triggering a folio reference count BUG.
After a successful split, nr still contains the number of pages in the
original large folio, although each resulting page is now a separate
order-0 folio. Reset nr to 1 so each split folio is processed separately,
including its own swapcache removal and mapping lookup.
Refresh the saved mapping after folio_free_swap() so the current folio
state is used during migration.
v2:
- Refresh the mapping using folio_mapping(), as suggested by Zi Yan.
v3:
- Reset nr to 1 after a successful split so each resulting folio is
processed independently, as suggested by Zi Yan.
v4:
- Re-read each source folio's mapping immediately before
folio_migrate_mapping(), as suggested by Balbir Singh.
- Add a warning to validate the post-split order-0 invariant,
as suggested by Balbir Singh.
