Subject: [PATCH] mm/migrate: fix stale partially_mapped arg to deferred_split_folio()
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 14:11:16 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401084116.22219-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)

In migrate_folio_move(), src_partially_mapped is sampled from the source
folio before move_to_new_folio() is called:

  if (folio_order(src) > 1 &&
      !data_race(list_empty(&src->_deferred_list))) {
          src_deferred_split = true;
          src_partially_mapped = folio_test_partially_mapped(src);
  }

A concurrent thread can unmap pages from the source folio between this
read and the actual migration, making the sampled value stale.

After move_to_new_folio() succeeds, __folio_migrate_mapping() has already
copied all folio flags including PG_partially_mapped from src to dst.
Passing the stale src_partially_mapped=false to deferred_split_folio(dst)
while dst already has PG_partially_mapped=true triggers the invariant
check in deferred_split_folio():

  VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_partially_mapped(folio), folio)

at mm/huge_memory.c:4371, because the argument contradicts the flag
already set on the folio.

Fix this by removing the src_partially_mapped variable entirely and
reading PG_partially_mapped directly from dst after move_to_new_folio()
completes, where it is authoritative and race-free.
