Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: fix finish_fault() handling for large folios
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 11:23:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250226162341.915535-1-bgeffon@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250226114815.758217-1-bgeffon@google.com>
When handling faults for anon shmem finish_fault() will attempt to install
ptes for the entire folio. Unfortunately if it encounters a single
non-pte_none entry in that range it will bail, even if the pte that
triggered the fault is still pte_none. When this situation happens the
fault will be retried endlessly never making forward progress.
This patch fixes this behavior and if it detects that a pte in the range
is not pte_none it will fall back to setting a single pte.
