Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/mempolicy: use vm_normal_folio_pmd() in queue_folios_pmd()
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:49:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821144947.167382-2-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821144947.167382-1-gourry@gourry.net>

mmap a VM_PFNMAP region whose ->huge_fault installs a PMD through
vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() - a vfio-pci MMIO BAR does this - then

	mbind(p, len, MPOL_BIND, &mask, maxnode, MPOL_MF_STRICT);

With a stand-in module for the driver:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffff96dc0000008
  RIP: 0010:queue_folios_pte_range+0xaf/0x440
   walk_pgd_range+0x52b/0xaf0
   __walk_page_range+0x6a/0x1d0
   walk_page_range_mm_unsafe+0x193/0x230
   queue_pages_range+0x64/0xa0
   do_mbind+0x25e/0x640

queue_folios_pmd(), inlined above, calls pmd_folio() on that PMD.  The pfn
is raw MMIO with no memmap entry, so the folio lands in unpopulated
vmemmap.  Neither guard stops the walk:

  walk_page_test()         skips VM_PFNMAP, but queue_pages_walk_ops
                           supplies ->test_walk, so it never runs
  queue_pages_test_walk()  honours vma_migratable(), but only while
                           MPOL_MF_STRICT is clear

A VM_MIXEDMAP vma needs neither flag, being vma_migratable(), so plain
mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE) reaches this too - and there the bad folio carries on
into migrate_folio_add() and folio_isolate_lru().  mshv_vtl_low is such a
mapping.

Use vm_normal_folio_pmd() and skip on NULL, as the PTE loop in
queue_folios_pte_range() already does with vm_normal_folio().  The huge
zero PMD moves ahead of the lookup, since vm_normal_folio_pmd() returns
NULL for it and its ACTION_CONTINUE would be lost.

mbind(MPOL_MF_STRICT) over a PMD mapped VM_PFNMAP region now returns 0
rather than -EIO.  The PTE loop already returned 0 there.
