Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/6] mm/memory-failure: handle swapcached hugetlb folios
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 16:00:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_6DE2E1B379FAD189CEFE60DBA83A4C1DF005@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790663399.git.leizongkun@qq.com>

Anonymous hugetlb folios can now sit in the swap cache (swap-out
writeback window, cached copy after swap-in), a state memory failure
never had to handle before.  Two gaps:

1. try_to_unmap() routes every hugetlb folio to
   try_to_unmap_poisoned_hugetlb_one(), which requires TTU_HWPOISON.
   But unmap_poisoned_folio() clears TTU_HWPOISON for a dirty
   swapcache folio -- its mappings must be replaced with swap entries,
   exactly like for a 4K swapcache folio, so the swap accounting stays
   intact and the fault path gets to kill the owner.  Routing such a
   folio to the poisoned handler fires its VM_WARN_ON_ONCE and would
   install hwpoison entries on top of live swap state.  Route hugetlb
   folios by flag instead: TTU_HWPOISON set -> the poisoned handler;
   cleared -> try_to_unmap_swap_hugetlb_one().

2. me_huge_page() has no swapcache case: a clean poisoned hugetlb
   folio in the swap cache falls into the truncate path, which evicts
   it (the swap address space has no error_remove_folio).  The folio
   is never returned to the hstate pool (a silent 2M pool leak) and
   the poison marker is lost, so a later fault would swap possibly
   corrupt data back in.  Mirror me_swapcache_dirty(): keep the
   poisoned folio in the swap cache and return MF_DELAYED, so the
   swap-in path sees folio_test_hwpoison() and kills the accessor.
