userfaultfd_move() checks whether the PTE entry is present or a
swap entry.
- If the PTE entry is present, move_present_pte() handles folio
migration by setting:
src_folio->index = linear_page_index(dst_vma, dst_addr);
- If the PTE entry is a swap entry, move_swap_pte() simply copies
the PTE to the new dst_addr.
This approach is incorrect because even if the PTE is a swap
entry, it can still reference a folio that remains in the swap
cache.
If do_swap_page() is triggered, it may locate the folio in the
swap cache. However, during add_rmap operations, a kernel panic
can occur due to:
page_pgoff(folio, page) != linear_page_index(vma, address)
Thanks for the report and reproducer!

Fully fixing it would be quite complex, requiring similar handling
of folios as done in move_present_pte.
How complex would that be? Is it a matter of adding
folio_maybe_dma_pinned() checks, doing folio_move_anon_rmap() and
folio->index = linear_page_index like in move_present_pte() or
something more?
If the entry is pte_swp_exclusive(), and the folio is order-0, it cannot
be pinned and we may be able to move it I think.
So all that's required is to check pte_swp_exclusive() and the folio size.
... in theory :) Not sure about the swap details.
Looking some more into it, I think we would have to perform all the
folio and anon_vma locking and pinning that we do for present pages in
move_pages_pte(). If that's correct then maybe treating swapcache
pages like a present page inside move_pages_pte() would be simpler?
I'd be more in favor of not doing that. Maybe there are parts we can
move out into helper functions instead, so we can reuse them?
I actually have a v2 ready. Maybe we can discuss if some of the code can be
extracted as a helper based on the below before I send it formally?
I’d say there are many parts that can be shared with present PTE, but there
are two major differences:
1. Page exclusivity – swapcache doesn’t require it (try_to_unmap_one has remove
Exclusive flag;)
2. src_anon_vma and its lock – swapcache doesn’t require it（folio is not mapped）
That's a lot of complicated code you have there (not your fault, it's
complicated stuff ... ) :)
Some of it might be compressed/simplified by the use of "else if".
I'll try to take a closer look later (will have to apply it to see the
context better). Just one independent comment because I stumbled over
this recently:
[...]

I'll note that the comment and mkdirty is misleading/wrong. It's
softdirty that we care about only. But that is something independent of
this change.
For swp PTEs, we maybe also would want to set softdirty.
See move_soft_dirty_pte() on what is actually done on the mremap path.
I actually don't quite understand the changelog in commit 0f8975ec4db2
(" mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking").
" Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address."
Why is the hardware-dirty bit not relevant? From the user's perspective,
the memory at the destination virtual address of mremap/userfaultfd_move
has changed.
Yes, but it did not change from the system POV. For example, if the page
was R/O clean and we moved it, why should it suddenly be R/O dirty and
e.g., require writeback again.
Nobody modified *page content*, but from a user perspective the memory
at that *virtual memory location* (dst) changed, for example, for
logical zero (no page mapped) to non-zero (page mapped). That's what
soft-dirty is about.
For systems where CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY is false, how can the dirty status
be determined?
No soft-dirty tracking, so nothing to maintain.
Or is the answer that we only care about soft-dirty changes?
> > For the hardware-dirty bit, do we only care about actual
modifications to the
physical page content rather than changes at the virtual address level?
Exactly!
