The patch titled Subject: mm/memory: handle_pte_fault() use pte_offset_map_nolock() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-memory-handle_pte_fault-use-pte_offset_map_nolock.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-memory-handle_pte_fault-use-pte_offset_map_nolock.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-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: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory: handle_pte_fault() use pte_offset_map_nolock() Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2023 18:45:05 -0700 (PDT) handle_pte_fault() use pte_offset_map_nolock() to get the vmf.ptl which corresponds to vmf.pte, instead of pte_lockptr() being used later, when there's a chance that the pmd entry might have changed, perhaps to none, or to a huge pmd, with no split ptlock in its struct page. Remove its pmd_devmap_trans_unstable() call: pte_offset_map_nolock() will handle that case by failing. Update the "morph" comment above, looking forward to when shmem or file collapse to THP may not take mmap_lock for write (or not at all). do_numa_page() use the vmf->ptl from handle_pte_fault() at first, but refresh it when refreshing vmf->pte. do_swap_page()'s pte_unmap_same() (the thing that takes ptl to verify a two-part PAE orig_pte) use the vmf->ptl from handle_pte_fault() too; but do_swap_page() is also used by anon THP's __collapse_huge_page_swapin(), so adjust that to set vmf->ptl by pte_offset_map_nolock().
