The quilt patch titled Subject: hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hugetlbfs-skip-vmas-without-shareable-locks-in-hugetlb_vmdelete_list.patch
This patch was dropped because it had testing failures
------------------------------------------------------ From: Deepanshu Kartikey kartikey406@gmail.com Subject: hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 20:19:32 +0530
hugetlb_vmdelete_list() uses trylock to acquire VMA locks during truncate operations. As per the original design in commit 40549ba8f8e0 ("hugetlb: use new vma_lock for pmd sharing synchronization"), if the trylock fails or the VMA has no lock, it should skip that VMA. Any remaining mapped pages are handled by remove_inode_hugepages() which is called after hugetlb_vmdelete_list() and uses proper lock ordering to guarantee unmapping success.
Currently, when hugetlb_vma_trylock_write() returns success (1) for VMAs without shareable locks, the code proceeds to call unmap_hugepage_range(). This causes assertion failures in huge_pmd_unshare() ��� hugetlb_vma_assert_locked() because no lock is actually held:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6594 Comm: syz.0.28 Not tainted Call Trace: hugetlb_vma_assert_locked+0x1dd/0x250 huge_pmd_unshare+0x2c8/0x540 __unmap_hugepage_range+0x6e3/0x1aa0 unmap_hugepage_range+0x32e/0x410 hugetlb_vmdelete_list+0x189/0x1f0
Fix by explicitly skipping VMAs without shareable locks after trylock succeeds, consistent with the original design where such VMAs are deferred to remove_inode_hugepages() for proper handling.
