[PATCH 6.1 086/106] mm/shmem: fix race in shmem_undo_range w/THP

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

 



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

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

From: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 55ac8bbe358bdd2f3c044c12f249fd22d48fe015 upstream.

Split folios during the second loop of shmem_undo_range.  It's not
sufficient to only split folios when dealing with partial pages, since
it's possible for a THP to be faulted in after that point.  Calling
truncate_inode_folio in that situation can result in throwing away data
outside of the range being targeted.
