The patch titled Subject: userfaultfd: release page in error path to avoid BUG_ON has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was userfaultfd-release-page-in-error-path-to-avoid-bug_on.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------ From: Axel Rasmussen axelrasmussen@google.com Subject: userfaultfd: release page in error path to avoid BUG_ON

Consider the following sequence of events:

1. Userspace issues a UFFD ioctl, which ends up calling into shmem_mfill_atomic_pte(). We successfully account the blocks, we shmem_alloc_page(), but then the copy_from_user() fails. We return -ENOENT. We don't release the page we allocated. 2. Our caller detects this error code, tries the copy_from_user() after dropping the mmap_lock, and retries, calling back into shmem_mfill_atomic_pte(). 3. Meanwhile, let's say another process filled up the tmpfs being used. 4. So shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() fails to account blocks this time, and immediately returns - without releasing the page.

This triggers a BUG_ON in our caller, which asserts that the page should always be consumed, unless -ENOENT is returned.

To fix this, detect if we have such a "dangling" page when accounting fails, and if so, release it before returning.
