Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: drop beyond-EOF folios with the right number of refs.
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:57:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250310155727.472846-1-ziy@nvidia.com> (raw)
When an after-split folio is large and needs to be dropped due to EOF,
folio_put_refs(folio, folio_nr_pages(folio)) should be used to drop
all page cache refs. Otherwise, the folio will not be freed, causing
memory leak.
This leak would happen on a filesystem with blocksize > page_size and
a truncate is performed, where the blocksize makes folios split to
>0 order ones, causing truncated folios not being freed.
Fixes: c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages")
Reported-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/fcbadb7f-dd3e-21df-f9a7-2853b53183c4@google.com/
