Subject: [PATCH v1] mm/memory: move sanity checks in do_wp_page() after mapcount vs. refcount stabilization
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 11:50:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250415095007.569836-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In __folio_remove_rmap() for RMAP_LEVEL_PMD/RMAP_LEVEL_PUD and with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT we first decrement the folio mapcount (and
recompute mapped shared vs. mapped exclusively) to then adjust the
entire mapcount.
This means that another process might stumble in do_wp_page() over a
PTE-mapped PMD folio that is indicated as "exclusively mapped", but still
has an entire mapcount (PMD mapping), because it is racing with the process
that is unmapping the folio (PMD mapping). Note that do_wp_page() will
back off once it detects the remaining folio reference from the process
that is in the process of unmapping the folio.
This will trigger the early VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_entire_mapcount(folio))
check in do_wp_page(), that can easily be reproduced by looping a couple
of times over allocating a PMD THP, forking a child where we immediately
unmap it again, and writing in the parent concurrently to the THP.

While we could adjust the sequence in __folio_remove_rmap(), let's rater
move the mapcount sanity checks after the mapcount vs. refcount
stabilization phase. With this fix, a simple reproducer is happy.
While at it, convert the two VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() we are moving to
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO().
