mm/memory: fix spurious warning when unmapping device-private/exclusive pages

2026-05-14T00:40:03+00:00

Device private and exclusive entries are only supported for anonymous folios. This condition is tested in __migrate_device_pages() and make_device_exclusive() using folio_test_anon(). However the unmap path tests this assumption using vma_is_anonymous(). This is wrong because whilst anonymous VMAs can only contain folios where folio_test_anon() is true the opposite relation does not hold. A folio for which folio_test_anon() is true does not imply vma_is_anonymous() is true. Such a condition can occur if for example a folio is part of a private filebacked mapping. In this case vma_is_anonymous() is false as the mapping is filebacked, but folio_test_anon() may be true, thus permitting devices to migrate the folio to device private memory. This can lead to the following spurious warnings during process teardown: [ 772.737706] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 772.739201] WARNING: mm/memory.c:1754 at unmap_page_range.cold+0x26/0x18a, CPU#17: hmm-tests/2041 [ 772.742050] Modules linked in: test_hmm nvidia_uvm(O) nvidia(O) [ 772.743959] CPU: 17 UID: 0 PID: 2041 Comm: hmm-tests Tainted: G W O 7.0.0+ #387 PREEMPT(full) [ 772.747104] Tainted: [W]=WARN, [O]=OOT_MODULE [ 772.748509] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.17.0-0-gb52ca86e094d-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 772.752117] RIP: 0010:unmap_page_range.cold+0x26/0x18a [ 772.753780] Code: 7e fe ff ff 48 89 4c 24 78 4c 89 44 24 38 e8 f2 ff b1 00 48 8b 4c 24 78 4c 8b 44 24 38 48 8b 44 24 18 48 83 78 48 00 74 04 90 <0f> 0b 90 48 89 ca b8 ff ff 37 00 48 c1 ea 03 48 c1 e0 2a 80 3c 02 [ 772.759602] RSP: 0018:ffff888112607550 EFLAGS: 00010286 [ 772.761310] RAX: ffff88811bbf4dc0 RBX: dffffc0000000000 RCX: ffffea03e9bfffd8 [ 772.763583] RDX: 1ffff1102377e9c1 RSI: 0000000000000008 RDI: ffff88811bbf4e08 [ 772.765914] RBP: 0000000000000006 R08: ffff8881059f7448 R09: ffffed10224c0e68 [ 772.768184] R10: ffff888112607347 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000001 [ 772.770461] R13: ffffea03e9bfffc0 R14: ffff888112607908 R15: ffffea03e9bfffc0 [ 772.772782] FS: 00007f327caa2780(0000) GS:ffff888427b7d000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 772.775328] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 772.777187] CR2: 00007f327ca89000 CR3: 00000001994d5000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 772.779135] Call Trace: [ 772.779792] [ 772.780317] ? dmirror_interval_invalidate+0x1a3/0x290 [test_hmm] [ 772.781873] ? vm_normal_page_pud+0x2b0/0x2b0 [ 772.782992] ? __rwlock_init+0x150/0x150 [ 772.784006] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.785008] ? __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start+0x505/0x6e0 [ 772.786522] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.787498] ? unmap_single_vma+0xb6/0x210 [ 772.788573] unmap_vmas+0x27d/0x520 [ 772.789506] ? unmap_single_vma+0x210/0x210 [ 772.790607] ? mas_update_gap.part.0+0x620/0x620 [ 772.791834] unmap_region+0x19e/0x350 [ 772.792769] ? remove_vma+0x130/0x130 [ 772.793684] ? mas_alloc_nodes+0x1f2/0x300 [ 772.794730] vms_complete_munmap_vmas+0x8c1/0xe20 [ 772.795926] ? unmap_region+0x350/0x350 [ 772.796917] do_vmi_align_munmap+0x36a/0x4e0 [ 772.798018] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.799024] ? vma_shrink+0x620/0x620 [ 772.799983] do_vmi_munmap+0x150/0x2c0 [ 772.800939] __vm_munmap+0x161/0x2c0 [ 772.801872] ? expand_downwards+0xd60/0xd60 [ 772.802948] ? clockevents_program_event+0x1ef/0x540 [ 772.804217] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.805158] __x64_sys_munmap+0x59/0x80 [ 772.805776] do_syscall_64+0xfc/0x670 [ 772.806336] ? irqentry_exit+0xda/0x580 [ 772.806976] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 [ 772.807772] RIP: 0033:0x7f327cbb2717 [ 772.808323] Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d f9 76 0d 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 b8 0b 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d c9 76 0d 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ 772.811337] RSP: 002b:00007ffde7f57d38 EFLAGS: 00000202 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000000b [ 772.812564] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f327cc9c000 RCX: 00007f327cbb2717 [ 772.813733] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000400000 RDI: 00007f327c289000 [ 772.814867] RBP: 0000000000421360 R08: 000000000000001a R09: 0000000000000000 [ 772.815991] R10: 0000000000000003 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 00007ffde7f57d74 [ 772.817121] R13: 00007f327c689010 R14: 0000000000100000 R15: 00007f327c289000 [ 772.818272] [ 772.818614] irq event stamp: 0 [ 772.819159] hardirqs last enabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 [ 772.820174] hardirqs last disabled at (0): [] copy_process+0x19f3/0x6440 [ 772.821511] softirqs last enabled at (0): [] copy_process+0x1a40/0x6440 [ 772.822869] softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 [ 772.823871] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fix this by using the same check for folio_test_anon() in zap_nonpresent_ptes().

selftests/mm: specify requirement for PROC_MEM_ALWAYS_FORCE=y

2026-04-27T12:54:26+00:00

Several of the mm selftests made use of /proc/pid/mem as part of their operation but we do not specify this in the config fragment for them, at least mkdirty and ksm_functional_tests have this requirement. This has been working fine in practice since PROC_MEM_ALWAYS_FORCE was the default setting but commit 599bbba5a36f ("proc: make PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE the Kconfig default") that is no longer the case, meaning that tests run on kernels built based on defconfigs have started having the new more restrictive default and failing. Add PROC_MEM_ALWAYS_FORCE to the config fragment for the mm selftests. Thanks to Aishwarya TCV for spotting the issue and identifying the commit that introduced it.

selftests: mm: skip charge_reserved_hugetlb without killall

2026-04-18T07:10:56+00:00

charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh tears down background writers with killall from psmisc. Minimal Ubuntu images do not always provide that tool, so the selftest fails in cleanup for an environment reason rather than for the hugetlb behavior it is trying to cover. Skip the test when killall is unavailable, similar to the existing root check, so these environments report the dependency clearly instead of failing the test.

selftests/mm/vm_util: robust write_file()

2026-04-18T07:10:54+00:00

Add three more checks for buflen and numwritten. The buflen should be at least two, that means at least one char and the null-end. The error case check is added by checking numwriten < 0 instead of numwritten < 1. And the truncate case is checked. The test will exit if any of these conditions aren't met. Additionally, add more print information when a write failure occurs or a truncated write happens, providing clearer diagnostics.

selftests/mm: move write_file helper to vm_util

2026-04-18T07:10:54+00:00

thp_settings provides write_file() helper for safely writing to a file and exit when write failure happens. It's a very low level helper and many sub tests need such a helper, not only thp tests. split_huge_page_test also defines a write_file locally. The two have minior differences in return type and used exit api. And there would be conflicts if split_huge_page_test wanted to include thp_settings.h because of different prototype, making it less convenient. It's possisble to merge the two, although some tests don't use the kselftest infrastrucutre for testing. It would also work when using the ksft_exit_msg() to exit in my test, as the counters are all zero. Output will be like: TAP version 13 1..62 Bail out! /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches1 open failed: No such file or directory # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 So here we just keep the version in split_huge_page_test, and move it into the vm_util. This makes it easy to maitain and user could just include one vm_util.h when they don't need thp setting helpers. Keep the prototype of void return as the function will exit on any error, return value is not necessary, and will simply the callers like write_num() and write_string().
