#regzbot introduced: 7460b470a131f985a70302a322617121efdd7caa
Hey folks,
We discovered madvise(MADV_REMOVE) on a 4KiB range within a
huge-page-backed MAP_SHARED memfd region corrupts nearby pages.
Using the reproducible test in
https://github.com/dfinity/thp-madv-remove-test this was bisected to the
first bad commit:
commit 7460b470a131f985a70302a322617121efdd7caa
Author: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>
Date: Fri Mar 7 12:40:00 2025 -0500
mm/truncate: use folio_split() in truncate operation
v7.0-rc1 still has the regression.
The repo mentioned above explains how to reproduce the regression and
contains the necessary logs of failed runs on 7460b470a131 and v7.0-rc1, as
well as a successful run on its parent 4b94c18d1519.
Best regards,
