Subject: [Patch v2] mm/page_vma_mapped: revalidate and do proper check before return device-private pmd
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:34:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616063436.20455-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)

For pmd_trans_huge() and pmd_is_migration_entry(), we does following
before return the pmd entry:

  * re-validate pmd entry after PTL
  * check PVMW_MIGRATION
  * check_pmd()
  * handle on pte level if split under us

But for device-private pmd, we just return after pmd_lock().

This may return improper entry, e.g. if we are looking for a migration
entry, device-private entry could still be returned, which leads to data
corruption.

This patch fixes commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration
support device-private entries") by following the same pattern as
pmd_trans_huge() and pmd_is_migration_entry() for device private entry.

While at it, it cleanups the pmd entry handling in page_vma_mapped_walk().

  * Instead of handling trans huge/migration entry/device private entry
    in a mixed manner, we put each case into its own if condition and
    handle with the same pattern.
  * Also we grab PTL and make sure pmd is not changed under us after
    above check instead of do the check with PTL hold.
  * restart the process if pmd is changed under us

Fixes: 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support device-private entries")

v2:
  * specify the possible error case of current code and user visible effect
  * besides fix, cleanup the pmd entry handling based on David's suggestion
