Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 3/7] mm: shmem: Update shmem handler to the MF_DELAYED definition
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:24:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-rfc-v3-v3-3-718f45eb7c75@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-rfc-v3-v3-0-718f45eb7c75@google.com>

To align with the definition of MF_DELAYED, update
shmem_error_remove_folio() to return MF_DELAYED.

shmem handles memory failures but defers the actual file truncation. The
function's return value should therefore be MF_DELAYED to accurately
reflect the state.

Currently, this logical error does not cause a bug, because:

- For shmem folios, folio->private is not set.
- As a result, filemap_release_folio() is a no-op and returns true.
- This, in turn, causes truncate_error_folio() to incorrectly return
  MF_RECOVERED.
- The caller then treats MF_RECOVERED as a success condition, masking the
  issue.

The previous patch relays MF_DELAYED to the caller of
truncate_error_folio() before any logging, so returning MF_DELAYED from
shmem_error_remove_folio() will retain the original behavior of not
adding any logs.

The return value of truncate_error_folio() is consumed in action_result(),
which treats MF_DELAYED the same way as MF_RECOVERED, hence action_result()
also returns the same thing after this change.
