From 23e570927421d569fdc510d5f3f29542a43eeda5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 10:40:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: split huge PUDs when adjusting VMA boundaries PFN mappings such as VFIO PCI BAR mappings can use PUD leaves while allowing VMA splits at page granularity. However, vma_adjust_trans_huge() only handles PMDs. After faulting a writable PUD-sized VFIO BAR mapping, changing its first page to read-only with mprotect() makes the PMD walk treat the PUD leaf as a PMD table. Applying MADV_DONTFORK to the first PMD-sized chunk leaves the PUD spanning two VMAs: the PMD-aligned boundary skips splitting. Walk the page tables once at each adjusted boundary and split a huge PUD or PMD leaf as needed. Handle PUD leaves even when the boundary is PMD-aligned.
