The patch titled Subject: mm/memory-failure: fix detection of memory_failure() handlers has been added to the -mm mm-hotfixes-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-memory-failure-fix-detection-of-memory_failure-handlers.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-memory-failure-fix-detection-of-memory_failure-handlers.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-hotfixes-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory-failure: fix detection of memory_failure() handlers Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2022 10:18:07 -0700 Some pagemap types, like MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC (device-dax) do not even have pagemap ops which results in crash signatures like this: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 8000000205073067 P4D 8000000205073067 PUD 2062b3067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 22 PID: 4535 Comm: device-dax Tainted: G OE N 6.0.0-rc2+ #59 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:memory_failure+0x667/0xba0 [..] Call Trace: <TASK> ? _printk+0x58/0x73 do_madvise.part.0.cold+0xaf/0xc5 Check for ops before checking if the ops have a memory_failure() handler.
