mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before

2025-06-27T10:05:35Z

commit 081056dc00a27bccb55ccc3c6f230a3d5fd3f7e0 upstream. Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to be shared again before we actually perform the split. Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from __split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked. An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts: 1. from hugetlb_split(), holding: - mmap lock (exclusively) - VMA lock - file rmap lock (exclusively) 2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock Backporting note: This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually also go all the way back.

hugetlb: check for undefined shift on 32 bit architectures

2023-02-22T11:57:07Z

commit ec4288fe63966b26d53907212ecd05dfa81dd2cc upstream. Users can specify the hugetlb page size in the mmap, shmget and memfd_create system calls. This is done by using 6 bits within the flags argument to encode the base-2 logarithm of the desired page size. The routine hstate_sizelog() uses the log2 value to find the corresponding hugetlb hstate structure. Converting the log2 value (page_size_log) to potential hugetlb page size is the simple statement: 1UL << page_size_log Because only 6 bits are used for page_size_log, the left shift can not be greater than 63. This is fine on 64 bit architectures where a long is 64 bits. However, if a value greater than 31 is passed on a 32 bit architecture (where long is 32 bits) the shift will result in undefined behavior. This was generally not an issue as the result of the undefined shift had to exactly match hugetlb page size to proceed. Recent improvements in runtime checking have resulted in this undefined behavior throwing errors such as reported below. Fix by comparing page_size_log to BITS_PER_LONG before doing shift.

mm/migration: return errno when isolate_huge_page failed

2023-02-14T18:17:56Z

[ 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: hugetlb: proc: check for hugetlb shared PMD in /proc/PID/smaps

2023-02-09T10:26:44Z

commit 3489dbb696d25602aea8c3e669a6d43b76bd5358 upstream. Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs". This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior caused by this issue. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/ This patch (of 2): A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their page table. page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were incorrectly being counted as private. To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD is added.

mm/hugetlb: fix races when looking up a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page

2022-11-10T17:15:24Z

[ Upstream commit fac35ba763ed07ba93154c95ffc0c4a55023707f ] On some architectures (like ARM64), it can support CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb, which means it can support not only PMD/PUD size hugetlb (2M and 1G), but also CONT-PTE/PMD size(64K and 32M) if a 4K page size specified. So when looking up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by follow_page(), it will use pte_offset_map_lock() to get the pte entry lock for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb in follow_page_pte(). However this pte entry lock is incorrect for the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, since we should use huge_pte_lock() to get the correct lock, which is mm->page_table_lock. That means the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb under current pte lock is unstable in follow_page_pte(), we can continue to migrate or poison the pte entry of the CONT-PTE size hugetlb, which can cause some potential race issues, even though they are under the 'pte lock'. For example, suppose thread A is trying to look up a CONT-PTE size hugetlb page by move_pages() syscall under the lock, however antoher thread B can migrate the CONT-PTE hugetlb page at the same time, which will cause thread A to get an incorrect page, if thread A also wants to do page migration, then data inconsistency error occurs. Moreover we have the same issue for CONT-PMD size hugetlb in follow_huge_pmd(). To fix above issues, rename the follow_huge_pmd() as follow_huge_pmd_pte() to handle PMD and PTE level size hugetlb, which uses huge_pte_lock() to get the correct pte entry lock to make the pte entry stable. Mike said: Support for CONT_PMD/_PTE was added with bb9dd3df8ee9 ("arm64: hugetlb: refactor find_num_contig()"). Patch series "Support for contiguous pte hugepages", v4. However, I do not believe these code paths were executed until migration support was added with 5480280d3f2d ("arm64/mm: enable HugeTLB migration for contiguous bit HugeTLB pages") I would go with 5480280d3f2d for the Fixes: targe.

mm/hwpoison: fix race between hugetlb free/demotion and memory_failure_hugetlb()

2022-07-12T14:35:06Z

[ Upstream commit 405ce051236cc65b30bbfe490b28ce60ae6aed85 ] There is a race condition between memory_failure_hugetlb() and hugetlb free/demotion, which causes setting PageHWPoison flag on the wrong page. The one simple result is that wrong processes can be killed, but another (more serious) one is that the actual error is left unhandled, so no one prevents later access to it, and that might lead to more serious results like consuming corrupted data. Think about the below race window: CPU 1 CPU 2 memory_failure_hugetlb struct page *head = compound_head(p); hugetlb page might be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page. get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now... The current code first does prechecks roughly and then reconfirms after taking refcount, but it's found that it makes code overly complicated, so move the prechecks in a single hugetlb_lock range. A newly introduced function, try_memory_failure_hugetlb(), always takes hugetlb_lock (even for non-hugetlb pages). That can be improved, but memory_failure() is rare in principle, so should not be a big problem.

mm/hugetlb: initialize hugetlb_usage in mm_init

2021-09-09T01:45:53Z

After fork, the child process will get incorrect (2x) hugetlb_usage. If a process uses 5 2MB hugetlb pages in an anonymous mapping, HugetlbPages: 10240 kB and then forks, the child will show, HugetlbPages: 20480 kB The reason for double the amount is because hugetlb_usage will be copied from the parent and then increased when we copy page tables from parent to child. Child will have 2x actual usage. Fix this by adding hugetlb_count_init in mm_init.
