[PATCH 2/2] drm/nouveau/dmem: fix callocated underflow on large folio split
From: Zhenhao Wan
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 10:40:28 EST
nouveau_dmem_folio_free() drops chunk->callocated once per freed folio,
while a large (compound) device-private folio is only counted once when
it is allocated. When such a folio is split, the mm core invokes
->folio_split() (nouveau_dmem_folio_split()) once for each new
sub-folio, but the hook only fixes up the sub-folio metadata and leaves
chunk->callocated unchanged.
Each resulting sub-folio is later freed separately, so after a split
the single allocation (+1) is met by N frees (-N), leaving
chunk->callocated short by N-1. On the first split/free cycle it
underflows: WARN_ON(!chunk->callocated) fires, the unsigned counter
wraps and never returns to zero, so the chunk can no longer be
reclaimed (nouveau_dmem_fini() also warns on the leaked count).
Account for the new sub-folio in the split hook, under the same lock as
nouveau_dmem_folio_free(), so the count stays balanced.
