[PATCH 6.10 066/375] userfaultfd: dont BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table

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

 



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

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

From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4828d207dc5161dc7ddf9a4f6dcfd80c7dd7d20a upstream.

Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get
rid of them.

We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then we
could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine
but I think is not necessarily expected.
