migrate: correct lock ordering for hugetlb file folios

2026-02-06T15:40:09+00:00

commit b7880cb166ab62c2409046b2347261abf701530e upstream. Syzbot has found a deadlock (analyzed by Lance Yang): 1) Task (5749): Holds folio_lock, then tries to acquire i_mmap_rwsem(read lock). 2) Task (5754): Holds i_mmap_rwsem(write lock), then tries to acquire folio_lock. migrate_pages() -> migrate_hugetlbs() -> unmap_and_move_huge_page() <- Takes folio_lock! -> remove_migration_ptes() -> __rmap_walk_file() -> i_mmap_lock_read() <- Waits for i_mmap_rwsem(read lock)! hugetlbfs_fallocate() -> hugetlbfs_punch_hole() <- Takes i_mmap_rwsem(write lock)! -> hugetlbfs_zero_partial_page() -> filemap_lock_hugetlb_folio() -> filemap_lock_folio() -> __filemap_get_folio <- Waits for folio_lock! The migration path is the one taking locks in the wrong order according to the documentation at the top of mm/rmap.c. So expand the scope of the existing i_mmap_lock to cover the calls to remove_migration_ptes() too. This is (mostly) how it used to be after commit c0d0381ade79. That was removed by 336bf30eb765 for both file & anon hugetlb pages when it should only have been removed for anon hugetlb pages.

mm/migrate_device: don't add folio to be freed to LRU in migrate_device_finalize()

2025-10-02T11:35:47+00:00

commit 41cddf83d8b00f29fd105e7a0777366edc69a5cf upstream. If migration succeeded, we called folio_migrate_flags()->mem_cgroup_migrate() to migrate the memcg from the old to the new folio. This will set memcg_data of the old folio to 0. Similarly, if migration failed, memcg_data of the dst folio is left unset. If we call folio_putback_lru() on such folios (memcg_data == 0), we will add the folio to be freed to the LRU, making memcg code unhappy.

mm/migrate: set swap entry values of THP tail pages properly.

2024-04-13T10:59:02+00:00

The tail pages in a THP can have swap entry information stored in their private field. When migrating to a new page, all tail pages of the new page need to update ->private to avoid future data corruption. This fix is stable-only, since after commit 07e09c483cbe ("mm/huge_memory: work on folio->swap instead of page->private when splitting folio"), subpages of a swapcached THP no longer requires the maintenance. Adding THPs to the swapcache was introduced in commit 38d8b4e6bdc87 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out"), where each subpage of a THP added to the swapcache had its own swapcache entry and required the ->private field to point to the correct swapcache entry. Later, when THP migration functionality was implemented in commit 616b8371539a6 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path"), it initially did not handle the subpages of swapcached THPs, failing to update their ->private fields or replace the subpage pointers in the swapcache. Subsequently, commit e71769ae5260 ("mm: enable thp migration for shmem thp") addressed the swapcache update aspect. This patch fixes the update of subpage ->private fields.

mm/migration: return errno when isolate_huge_page failed

2023-02-15T16:22:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7ce82f4c3f3ead13a9d9498768e3b1a79975c4d8 ] We might fail to isolate huge page due to e.g. the page is under migration which cleared HPageMigratable. We should return errno in this case rather than always return 1 which could confuse the user, i.e. the caller might think all of the memory is migrated while the hugetlb page is left behind. We make the prototype of isolate_huge_page consistent with isolate_lru_page as suggested by Huang Ying and rename isolate_huge_page to isolate_hugetlb as suggested by Muchun to improve the readability.

mm/migrate_device.c: flush TLB while holding PTL

2022-10-05T08:38:40+00:00

commit 60bae73708963de4a17231077285bd9ff2f41c44 upstream. When clearing a PTE the TLB should be flushed whilst still holding the PTL to avoid a potential race with madvise/munmap/etc. For example consider the following sequence: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- migrate_vma_collect_pmd() pte_unmap_unlock() madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) -> zap_pte_range() pte_offset_map_lock() [ PTE not present, TLB not flushed ] pte_unmap_unlock() [ page is still accessible via stale TLB ] flush_tlb_range() In this case the page may still be accessed via the stale TLB entry after madvise returns. Fix this by flushing the TLB while holding the PTL.

mm: fix missing cache flush for all tail pages of compound page

2022-05-15T18:00:09+00:00

commit 2771739a7162782c0aa6424b2e3dd874e884a15d upstream. The D-cache maintenance inside move_to_new_page() only consider one page, there is still D-cache maintenance issue for tail pages of compound page (e.g. THP or HugeTLB). THP migration is only enabled on x86_64, ARM64 and powerpc, while powerpc and arm64 need to maintain the consistency between I-Cache and D-Cache, which depends on flush_dcache_page() to maintain the consistency between I-Cache and D-Cache. But there is no issues on arm64 and powerpc since they already considers the compound page cache flushing in their icache flush function. HugeTLB migration is enabled on arm, arm64, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390 and sh, while arm has handled the compound page cache flush in flush_dcache_page(), but most others do not. In theory, the issue exists on many architectures. Fix this by not using flush_dcache_folio() since it is not backportable.

mm, thp: use head page in __migration_entry_wait()

2021-06-30T12:47:26+00:00

commit ffc90cbb2970ab88b66ea51dd580469eede57b67 upstream. We notice that hung task happens in a corner but practical scenario when CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is enabled, as follows. Process 0 Process 1 Process 2..Inf split_huge_page_to_list unmap_page split_huge_pmd_address __migration_entry_wait(head) __migration_entry_wait(tail) remap_page (roll back) remove_migration_ptes rmap_walk_anon cond_resched Where __migration_entry_wait(tail) is occurred in kernel space, e.g., copy_to_user in fstat, which will immediately fault again without rescheduling, and thus occupy the cpu fully. When there are too many processes performing __migration_entry_wait on tail page, remap_page will never be done after cond_resched. This makes __migration_entry_wait operate on the compound head page, thus waits for remap_page to complete, whether the THP is split successfully or roll back. Note that put_and_wait_on_page_locked helps to drop the page reference acquired with get_page_unless_zero, as soon as the page is on the wait queue, before actually waiting. So splitting the THP is only prevented for a brief interval.

mm: fix numa stats for thp migration

commit 5c447d274f3746fbed6e695e7b9a2d7bd8b31b71 upstream. Currently the kernel is not correctly updating the numa stats for NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM on THP migration. Fix that. For NR_FILE_DIRTY and NR_ZONE_WRITE_PENDING, although at the moment there is no need to handle THP migration as kernel still does not have write support for file THP but to be more future proof, this patch adds the THP support for those stats as well.
