Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: fix THP allocation size check and fallback
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 03:04:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021190436.81682-1-ryncsn@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
There are some problems with the code implementations of THP fallback.
suitable_orders could be zero, and calling highest_order on a zero value
returns an overflowed size. And the order check loop is updating the
index value on every loop which may cause the index to be aligned by a
larger value while the loop shrinks the order. And it forgot to try order
0 after the final loop.
This is usually fine because shmem_add_to_page_cache ensures the shmem
mapping is still sane, but it might cause many potential issues like
allocating random folios into the random position in the map or return
-ENOMEM by accident. This triggered some strange userspace errors [1],
and shouldn't have happened in the first place.
