Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-swapfile-skip-hugetlb-pages-for-unuse_vma.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 00:29:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241017072905.0A884C4CEC3@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swapfile-skip-hugetlb-pages-for-unuse_vma.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2024 09:45:21 +0800

I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff.  The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:

 1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
 2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
 3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:

  mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)

We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace.  And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we lost it from page table.  We can skip HugeTLB pages
for unuse_vma to fix it.
