The patch titled Subject: mm: introduce arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young() has been added to the -mm mm-hotfixes-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-introduce-arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-introduce-arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young.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: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: introduce arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young() Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 07:45:10 +0100 When running as a Xen PV guests commit eed9a328aa1a ("mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG") can cause a protection violation in pmdp_test_and_clear_young(): BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8880083374d0 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation PGD 3026067 P4D 3026067 PUD 3027067 PMD 7fee5067 PTE 8010000008337065 Oops: 0003 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 7 PID: 158 Comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc5-20221118-doflr+ #1 RIP: e030:pmdp_test_and_clear_young+0x25/0x40 This happens because the Xen hypervisor can't emulate direct writes to page table entries other than PTEs. This can easily be fixed by introducing arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young() similar to arch_has_hw_pte_young() and test that instead of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG.
