lib: test_hmm: evict device pages on file close to avoid use-after-free

2026-05-07T04:13:43+00:00

commit 744dd97752ef1076a8d8672bb0d8aa2c7abc1144 upstream. Patch series "Minor hmm_test fixes and cleanups". Two bugfixes a cleanup for the HMM kernel selftests. These were mostly reported by Zenghui Yu with special thanks to Lorenzo for analysing and pointing out the problems. This patch (of 3): When dmirror_fops_release() is called it frees the dmirror struct but doesn't migrate device private pages back to system memory first. This leaves those pages with a dangling zone_device_data pointer to the freed dmirror. If a subsequent fault occurs on those pages (eg. during coredump) the dmirror_devmem_fault() callback dereferences the stale pointer causing a kernel panic. This was reported [1] when running mm/ksft_hmm.sh on arm64, where a test failure triggered SIGABRT and the resulting coredump walked the VMAs faulting in the stale device private pages. Fix this by calling dmirror_device_evict_chunk() for each devmem chunk in dmirror_fops_release() to migrate all device private pages back to system memory before freeing the dmirror struct. The function is moved earlier in the file to avoid a forward declaration.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

mm/zone_device: reinitialize large zone device private folios

2026-01-27T03:03:48+00:00

Reinitialize metadata for large zone device private folios in zone_device_page_init prior to creating a higher-order zone device private folio. This step is necessary when the folio's order changes dynamically between zone_device_page_init calls to avoid building a corrupt folio. As part of the metadata reinitialization, the dev_pagemap must be passed in from the caller because the pgmap stored in the folio page may have been overwritten with a compound head. Without this fix, individual pages could have invalid pgmap fields and flags (with PG_locked being notably problematic) due to prior different order allocations, which can, and will, result in kernel crashes.

mm/hmm/test: fix error handling in dmirror_device_init

2025-11-24T23:08:50+00:00

dmirror_device_init() calls device_initialize() which sets the device reference count to 1, but fails to call put_device() when error occurs after dev_set_name() or cdev_device_add() failures. This results in memory leaks of struct device objects. Additionally, dmirror_device_remove() lacks the final put_device() call to properly release the device reference. Found by code review.

lib/test_hmm: add large page allocation failure testing

2025-11-24T23:08:48+00:00

Add HMM_DMIRROR_FLAG_FAIL_ALLOC flag to simulate large page allocation failures, enabling testing of split migration code paths. This test flag allows validation of the fallback behavior when destination device cannot allocate compound pages. This is useful for testing the split migration functionality.

mm/migrate_device: add THP splitting during migration

2025-11-24T23:08:48+00:00

Implement migrate_vma_split_pages() to handle THP splitting during the migration process when destination cannot allocate compound pages. This addresses the common scenario where migrate_vma_setup() succeeds with MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND pages, but the destination device cannot allocate large pages during the migration phase. Key changes: - migrate_vma_split_pages(): Split already-isolated pages during migration - Enhanced folio_split() and __split_unmapped_folio() with isolated parameter to avoid redundant unmap/remap operations This provides a fallback mechansim to ensure migration succeeds even when large page allocation fails at the destination.

mm/memremap: add driver callback support for folio splitting

2025-11-24T23:08:48+00:00

When a zone device page is split (via huge pmd folio split). The driver callback for folio_split is invoked to let the device driver know that the folio size has been split into a smaller order. Provide a default implementation for drivers that do not provide this callback that copies the pgmap and mapping fields for the split folios. Update the HMM test driver to handle the split.

lib/test_hmm: add zone device private THP test infrastructure

2025-11-24T23:08:48+00:00

Enhance the hmm test driver (lib/test_hmm) with support for THP pages. A new pool of free_folios() has now been added to the dmirror device, which can be allocated when a request for a THP zone device private page is made. Add compound page awareness to the allocation function during normal migration and fault based migration. These routines also copy folio_nr_pages() when moving data between system memory and device memory. args.src and args.dst used to hold migration entries are now dynamically allocated (as they need to hold HPAGE_PMD_NR entries or more). Split and migrate support will be added in future patches in this series.

mm/zone_device: rename page_free callback to folio_free

2025-11-24T23:08:47+00:00

Change page_free to folio_free to make the folio support for zone device-private more consistent. The PCI P2PDMA callback has also been updated and changed to folio_free() as a result. For drivers that do not support folios (yet), the folio is converted back into page via &folio->page and the page is used as is, in the current callback implementation.
