Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_table_check: Fix crash on ZONE_DEVICE
Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2024 17:21:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240605212146.994486-1-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
Not all pages may apply to pgtable check. One example is ZONE_DEVICE
pages: they map PFNs directly, and they don't allocate page_ext at all even
if there's struct page around. One may reference devm_memremap_pages().
When both ZONE_DEVICE and page-table-check enabled, then try to map some
dax memories, one can trigger kernel bug constantly now when the kernel was
trying to inject some pfn maps on the dax device:
kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:55!
While it's pretty legal to use set_pxx_at() for ZONE_DEVICE pages for page
fault resolutions, skip all the checks if page_ext doesn't even exist in
pgtable checker, which applies to ZONE_DEVICE but maybe more.
