[PATCH 4.6 19/96] mm: thp: refix false positive BUG in page_move_anon_rmap()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5a49973d7143ebbabd76e1dcd69ee42e349bb7b9 upstream.

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's
worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again.  It's still wrong for some THP
cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to
addresses before the start of a vma.

That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index();
and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive.  But
why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in
page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for
the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index).

Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment.

And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or
outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest
level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I
think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.
