Linux kernel source tree

When a ZONE_DEVICE private page is freed, the page->mapping field can be
set. If this page is reused as an anonymous page, the previous value
can prevent the page from being inserted into the CPU's anon rmap table.
For example, when migrating a pte_none() page to device memory:
migrate_vma(ops, vma, start, end, src, dst, private)
migrate_vma_collect()
src[] = MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE
migrate_vma_prepare()
/* no page to lock or isolate so OK */
migrate_vma_unmap()
/* no page to unmap so OK */
ops->alloc_and_copy()
/* driver allocates ZONE_DEVICE page for dst[] */
migrate_vma_pages()
migrate_vma_insert_page()
page_add_new_anon_rmap()
__page_set_anon_rmap()
/* This check sees the page's stale mapping field */
if (PageAnon(page))
return
/* page->mapping is not updated */
The result is that the migration appears to succeed but a subsequent CPU
fault will be unable to migrate the page back to system memory or worse.
Clear the page->mapping field when freeing the ZONE_DEVICE page so stale
pointer data doesn't affect future page use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
