The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/page_table_check: fix crash on ZONE_DEVICE has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_table_check-fix-crash-on-zone_device.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
------------------------------------------------------ From: Peter Xu peterx@redhat.com Subject: mm/page_table_check: fix crash on ZONE_DEVICE Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2024 17:21:46 -0400
Not all pages may apply to pgtable check. One example is ZONE_DEVICE pages: they map PFNs directly, and they don't allocate page_ext at all even if there's struct page around. One may reference devm_memremap_pages().
When both ZONE_DEVICE and page-table-check enabled, then try to map some dax memories, one can trigger kernel bug constantly now when the kernel was trying to inject some pfn maps on the dax device:
kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:55!
While it's pretty legal to use set_pxx_at() for ZONE_DEVICE pages for page fault resolutions, skip all the checks if page_ext doesn't even exist in pgtable checker, which applies to ZONE_DEVICE but maybe more.
