Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable 1/1] mm: fix deferred split queue races during migration
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 21:10:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401131032.13011-1-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

migrate_folio_move() records the deferred split queue state from src and
replays it on dst. Replaying it after remove_migration_ptes(src, dst, 0)
makes dst visible before it is requeued, so a concurrent rmap-removal path
can mark dst partially mapped and trip the WARN in deferred_split_folio().

Move the requeue before remove_migration_ptes() so dst is back on the
deferred split queue before it becomes visible again.

Because migration still holds dst locked at that point, teach
deferred_split_scan() to requeue a folio when folio_trylock() fails.
Otherwise a fully mapped underused folio can be dequeued by the shrinker
and silently lost from split_queue.

Fixes: 8a8ca142a488 ("mm: migrate: requeue destination folio on deferred split queue")
Reported-by: syzbot+a7067a757858ac8eb085@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/69ccb65b.050a0220.183828.003a.GAE@google.com/

[ Backport note ]
This patch is a follow-up fix for 8a8ca142a488 ("mm: migrate: requeue
destination folio on deferred split queue"), which is currently only in
mm-stable, and should be backported together with it.

Credit for this fix goes to David, thanks!
