Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] mm/rmap: use huge_ptep_get() in try_to_unmap_one()
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 11:27:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904152744.898593-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090348-declared-riveting-c33a@gregkh>
From: Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com>
[ Upstream commit f5407e9b697c940e78b27ff63c6e14d8d171adc3 ]
Patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries", v3.
There are various places which use ptep_get() to get the pte entry
corresponding to a hugetlb folio. Some arches (like s390) have special
handling to compute the pteval, so they provide huge_ptep_get(). Use this
helper consistently.
Additionally, some code paths may provide huge_ptep_get with an unaligned
address. This is a problem on arm64 (I checked other arches and it looks
fine for them), which is fixed in patch 1. The fix is made to be
backport-friendly: the cleaner fix would be to perhaps pass the hstate to
huge_ptep_get() - that is wider churn and we can do that later.
This patch (of 5):
try_to_unmap_one() handles hugetlb folios when memory failure needs to
replace a poisoned hugetlb mapping with a hwpoison entry. In that case
page_vma_mapped_walk() returns the pte pointer to the hugetlb folio in
pvmw.pte, but the code reads it with ptep_get().
On arches which provide their own huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge
pte pointer, accessing via ptep_get() would cause pte_pfn(), pte_present()
etc to misbehave.
It is not clear whether this has a trivially visible effect to userspace.
Just use huge_ptep_get() for dereferencing a huge pte pointer.
