Subject: [BUG] WARNING in unlink_anon_vmas()
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 18:42:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFb8wJvRhatRD-9DVmr5v5pixTMPEr3UKjYBJjCd09OfH55CKg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
While fuzzing the KVM subsystem on RISC-V, I stumbled upon a kernel WARNING
that triggers in unlink_anon_vmas().
WARNING: mm/rmap.c:528 at unlink_anon_vmas+0x562/0x768 mm/rmap.c:528

I am not an expert in this area and have not done a deep manual analysis.
The full crash log, a reproducer, the kernel .config, and the relevant
source/commit info are available in my GitHub repository:
https://github.com/j1akai/temp/tree/main/20260318
If this turns out to be a real bug and there is anything I can do to help
with fixing or testing, I am happy to do so. I hope this report is useful
and sorry for any noise if it has already been addressed.
Thanks,
Jiakai
