Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] mm/mremap: fix moving PUD leaves
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 16:10:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112210958.3766498-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109202341-failed-5.15-440c8779757f@kernel.org>
From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>
[ Upstream commit 440c8779757f09f290770b1d361dc1516a9d0b3e ]
pud_none_or_clear_bad() only really works on page tables. PUD leaves
confuse the check and make us clear the page table entry and print a
warning.
Since commit aed877c2b4257 ("device/dax: properly refcount device dax pages
when mapping"), this also leaks device-DAX folio references, mapcounts
and RSS accounting, resulting in "Bad rss-counter state" warnings on exit.
Allow PUD leaves in get_old_pud(). If a PUD leaf cannot be moved as a
whole or the move fails, split it. This unmaps it with proper accounting
instead of treating the leaf entry as a PMD table.
Keep using pud_trans_huge() for now, in the future this code should be
cleaned up to just check for PUD leaves.
Fix generated by an LLM and sent by Josef Bacik in private.
Fixes: a00cc7d9dd93 ("mm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages")
