WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5508 at mm/huge_memory.c:1602 copy_huge_pmd+0x102c/0x1c60 mm/huge_memory.c:1602

This is the

VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(is_cow_mapping(src_vma->vm_flags) && pmd_write(pmd))

So we have a special-marked PMD in a COW mapping.

The reproducer seems to involve fuse, but not sure if that makes a
difference here.

That chunk of code seems to be there only making sure the test won't get
blocked due to any fused based fs being stuck, via writting to the "abort"
file:

        snprintf(abort, sizeof(abort), "/sys/fs/fuse/connections/%s/abort",
                 ent->d_name);
        int fd = open(abort, O_WRONLY);
        if (fd == -1) {
          continue;
        }
        if (write(fd, abort, 1) < 0) {
        }
        close(fd);

So far looks not relevant to this issue indeed.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it even with the reproducer.  So this one
is a bit tricky..

What confuses me yet is how that special bit is set, if it's only used so
far with vfio-pci, and this test doesn't seem to have it involved.

The test keeps invoking processes, then threads, doing concurrent accesses
over a few stuff (madvise, mremap, migrate_pages, munmap, etc.) on the
pre-mapped areas, but none of them seem to create new memory that can
provide hint on how special bit can start to occur.

I wonder if some of these operations can race in a way that mm can wrongly
create the special bit (alone with it being writable).. and then it could
be a historical bug, only captured by this patchset due to the newly added
WARN_ON_ONCE somehow, then it could mean that it's not the WRITE bit that
is not intended, but the SPECIAL bit altogether.

I assume you are missing a check for present/non-swap pmds. Assume you have
a migration entry and end up using the special bit -- which is perfectly
fine -- your code would assume it's a present PMD with the special bit set.

Maybe for the time being something like:

diff --git a/mm/huge_memory.c b/mm/huge_memory.c
index 0580ac9e47b9..e55efcad1e6c 100644
--- a/mm/huge_memory.c

@@ -1586,7 +1586,7 @@ int copy_huge_pmd(struct mm_struct *dst_mm, struct
mm_struct *src_mm,
         int ret = -ENOMEM;

         pmd = pmdp_get_lockless(src_pmd);
-       if (unlikely(pmd_special(pmd))) {
+       if (unlikely(pmd_present(pmd) && pmd_special(pmd))) {
                 dst_ptl = pmd_lock(dst_mm, dst_pmd);
                 src_ptl = pmd_lockptr(src_mm, src_pmd);
                 spin_lock_nested(src_ptl, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

Good catch!

I definitely overlooked it, and I did check the config has THP_MIGRATION
set indeed.  So it's very possible relevant.

Do you want to send a formal patch?  You can also push a branch with "#syz
test", looks like syzbot can constantly reproduce.

Yes, let me send out a patch real quick.
