Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/huge_memory: skip zone device folios in madvise_free_huge_pmd()
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:08:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817220810.1175596-2-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817220810.1175596-1-gourry@gourry.net>
madvise_free_huge_pmd() resolves the folio backing a PMD via pmd_folio()
and marks it lazyfree without checking for zone device memory.
The surrounding guards do not cover every zone device case:
- MADV_FREE only operates on anonymous VMAs (DAX mappings are excluded)
- !pmd_present() branch rejects device-private and migration entries
- present zone device PMD (device coherent THP) is not filtered.
Unlike vm_normal_page_pmd(), it performs no special/pfnmap check,
and would be marked lazyfree here.
Bail out when the folio is a zone device folio.
Fixes: a30b48bf1b24 ("mm/migrate_device: implement THP migration of zone device pages")
