Use is_zero_pfn on pteval only after pte_present check on pteval (It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte where checks pte_present first). Otherwise, it could work with swap or migration entry and if pte_pfn's result is equal to zero_pfn by chance, we lose user's data in __collapse_huge_page_copy. So if you're luck, the application is segfaulted and finally you could see below message when the application is exit. BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88007f099300 idx:2 val:3 Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello Greg, This patch should go to -stable but when you will apply it after merging of linus tree, it will be surely conflicted due to userfaultfd part. I want to know how to handle it.
