Subject: [PATCH -mm] mm, madvise, THP: Use THP aligned address in madvise_free_huge_pmd()

From: Huang Ying <[email protected]>

The address argument passed in madvise_free_huge_pmd() may be not THP
aligned. But some THP operations like pmdp_invalidate(),
set_pmd_at(), and tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry() need the address to be
THP aligned. Fix this via using THP aligned address for these
functions in madvise_free_huge_pmd().

This cannot happen.

Two address parameters are passed: addr and next.
If “addr” is not aligned and “next” is aligned or the end of madvise range, which might not be aligned,
either way next - addr < HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.

This means the code in “if (next - addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE)”, which is above your second hunk,
will split the THP between “addr” and “next” and get out as long as “addr“ is not aligned.
Thus, the code in your second hunk should always get aligned “addr”.

Let me know if I miss anything.


Best Regards,
Yan Zi

OK, so what would happen if the above doesn't hold anymore after some
change up the call chain? Is it critical? If yes, do we want VM_BUG_ON
to detect that? Or at least document the asumption?
