Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: mte: Do not warn if the page is already tagged in copy_highpage()
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 11:09:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022101704.4015055-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com> (raw)
The arm64 copy_highpage() assumes that the destination page is newly
allocated and not MTE-tagged (PG_mte_tagged unset) and warns
accordingly. However, following commit 060913999d7a ("mm: migrate:
support poisoned recover from migrate folio"), folio_mc_copy() is called
before __folio_migrate_mapping(). If the latter fails (-EAGAIN), the
copy will be done again to the same destination page. Since
copy_highpage() already set the PG_mte_tagged flag, this second copy
will warn.
Replace the WARN_ON_ONCE(page already tagged) in the arm64
copy_highpage() with a comment.
