From 0d6c356dd6547adac2b06b461528e3573f52d953 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Isaac J. Manjarres" isaacmanjarres@google.com Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:10:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/mm_init: fix hash table order logging in alloc_large_system_hash()
When emitting the order of the allocation for a hash table, alloc_large_system_hash() unconditionally subtracts PAGE_SHIFT from log base 2 of the allocation size. This is not correct if the allocation size is smaller than a page, and yields a negative value for the order as seen below:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: -4, 256 bytes, linear) TCP bind hash table entries: 32 (order: -2, 1024 bytes, linear)
Use get_order() to compute the order when emitting the hash table information to correctly handle cases where the allocation size is smaller than a page:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 256 bytes, linear) TCP bind hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 1024 bytes, linear)

From: Lance Yang lance.yang@linux.dev
When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with `memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new page for it, mark the underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file mapping.
If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end up allocating a page and removing the page from the direct map, but only one would succeed in adding the page to the file mapping. The task that failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the page again and (b) putting the page back into the direct map. However, by doing these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.
If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a supervisor not-present page fault.
Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the page is freed.

Thanks for backporting these patches to the older kernel branches, Mike! I really appreciate it :)
