Right.


   mm/gup: stop leaking pinned pages in low memory conditions

Fixes: 24a95998e9ba ("mm/gup.c: simplify and fix check_and_migrate_movable_pages() return codes")

In mainline since v6.1!

   mm/gup: memfd: stop leaking pinned pages in low memory conditions

Fixes: 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios")

Since v6.11.


So these are quite independent fixes.  Kernels 6.1.x ...  6.10.x will
have the first patch and not the second.  That's presumably an untested
combination, fingers crossed.


Probably fine.



Ah, I'm actually about to send out v3 in a moment, which only has one patch,
whose diffs are just comment changes, plus David's latest suggestion:


 static long check_and_migrate_movable_pages(unsigned long nr_pages,
                                            struct page **pages)
@@ -2437,8 +2440,10 @@ static long check_and_migrate_movable_pages(unsigned long nr_pages,
        long i, ret;
folios = kmalloc_array(nr_pages, sizeof(*folios), GFP_KERNEL);
-       if (!folios)
+       if (!folios) {
+               unpin_user_pages(pages, nr_pages);
                return -ENOMEM;
+       }
for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
                folios[i] = page_folio(pages[i]);
