Subject: [merged mm-stable] selftests-mm-fix-uffd-move-pmd-test-crash-on-64k-base-page-systems.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 02:01:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261024090110.EAD321F01828@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: fix uffd move-pmd test crash on 64K base page systems
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-fix-uffd-move-pmd-test-crash-on-64k-base-page-systems.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm: fix uffd move-pmd test crash on 64K base page systems
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:35:27 +0800
uffd_move_pmd_test()/uffd_move_test_common() splits the test area into
chunks of chunk_size and moves them one by one. On arm64 with 64K base
pages the chunk_size (read_pmd_pagesize()) is 512MB, which is larger than
the whole 32MB (UFFD_TEST_MEM_SIZE) test area:
step_count = nr_pages / (chunk_size / page_size) == 0
Because chunk_size > page_size, the test then aligns both areas up to
512MB, which points far outside of the 32MB mappings, and decrements
step_count, which underflows to ULONG_MAX. The verification loop then
runs away and the first dereference of area_src faults with a SIGSEGV.
Skip the test when a single chunk cannot fit into the test area.
