------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand david@redhat.com Subject: mm/huge_memory: don't ignore queried cachemode in vmf_insert_pfn_pud() Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:06:52 +0200
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes", v2.
While working on improving vm_normal_page() and friends, I stumbled over this issues: refcounted "normal" pages must not be marked using pmd_special() / pud_special().
Fortunately, so far there doesn't seem to be serious damage.
This patch (of 3):
We setup the cache mode but ... don't forward the updated pgprot to insert_pfn_pud().
Only a problem on x86-64 PAT when mapping PFNs using PUDs that require a special cachemode.
Fix it by using the proper pgprot where the cachemode was setup.
Identified by code inspection.
