Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/mempolicy: skip device-private PMDs when queueing folios
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 06:45:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707135255.292870-2-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707135255.292870-1-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 huge
PMD - including a device-private swap entry. Passing such a PMD to
pmd_folio() extracts garbage bits as a PFN and returns a bogus folio
pointer.

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.

Skip device-private PMDs, matching how queue_folios_pte_range() skips
device-private PTE entries by checking !pte_present().
