[PATCH 31/46] mm/mremap: fix moving PUD leaves
From: David Hildenbrand (Arm)
Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 19:28:01 EST
From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
pud_none_or_clear_bad() only really works on page tables. PUD leaves
confuse the check and make us clear the page table entry and print a
warning.
Since commit aed877c2b4257 ("device/dax: properly refcount device dax pages
when mapping"), this also leaks device-DAX folio references, mapcounts
and RSS accounting, resulting in "Bad rss-counter state" warnings on exit.
Allow PUD leaves in get_old_pud(). If a PUD leaf cannot be moved as a
whole or the move fails, split it. This unmaps it with proper accounting
instead of treating the leaf entry as a PMD table.
Keep using pud_trans_huge() for now, in the future this code should be
cleaned up to just check for PUD leaves.
Fix generated by an LLM and sent by Josef Bacik in private.
