[PATCH v3] mm/userfaultfd: fix hugetlb fault mutex hash calculation

From: Jianhui Zhou

Date: Sun Mar 08 2026 - 23:31:48 EST


In mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), linear_page_index() is used to calculate the
page index for hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash(). However, linear_page_index()
returns the index in PAGE_SIZE units, while hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash()
expects the index in huge page units (as calculated by
vma_hugecache_offset()). This mismatch means that different addresses
within the same huge page can produce different hash values, leading to
the use of different mutexes for the same huge page. This can cause
races between faulting threads, which can corrupt the reservation map
and trigger the BUG_ON in resv_map_release().

Fix this by replacing linear_page_index() with vma_hugecache_offset()
and applying huge_page_mask() to align the address properly. To make
vma_hugecache_offset() available outside of mm/hugetlb.c, move it to
include/linux/hugetlb.h as a static inline function.
