The patch titled Subject: mm/thp: fix page_vma_mapped_walk() if THP mapped by ptes has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-thp-fix-page_vma_mapped_walk-if-thp-mapped-by-ptes.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Subject: mm/thp: fix page_vma_mapped_walk() if THP mapped by ptes
Running certain tests with a DEBUG_VM kernel would crash within hours, on the total_mapcount BUG() in split_huge_page_to_list(), while trying to free up some memory by punching a hole in a shmem huge page: split's try_to_unmap() was unable to find all the mappings of the page (which, on a !DEBUG_VM kernel, would then keep the huge page pinned in memory).
Crash dumps showed two tail pages of a shmem huge page remained mapped by pte: ptes in a non-huge-aligned vma of a gVisor process, at the end of a long unmapped range; and no page table had yet been allocated for the head of the huge page to be mapped into.
Although designed to handle these odd misaligned huge-page-mapped-by-pte cases, page_vma_mapped_walk() falls short by returning false prematurely when !pmd_present or !pud_present or !p4d_present or !pgd_present: there are cases when a huge page may span the boundary, with ptes present in the next.
Restructure page_vma_mapped_walk() as a loop to continue in these cases, while keeping its layout much as before. Add a step_forward() helper to advance pvmw->address across those boundaries: originally I tried to use mm's standard p?d_addr_end() macros, but hit the same crash 512 times less often: because of the way redundant levels are folded together, but folded differently in different configurations, it was just too difficult to use them correctly; and step_forward() is simpler anyway.
