From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated PTE in a uffd-wp VMA as written, but a range with no page table at all -- a PMD hole -- is skipped: pagemap_scan_pte_hole() tests p->cur_vma_category, which never carries PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, so the hole is neither reported nor (under PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING) armed. MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros semantics: it changes the contents of the range to zeroes (a subsequent read maps the zero page), which write tracking must report as written. An anonymous THP is write-protected in place as a huge PMD, so a full-PMD MADV_DONTNEED clears it to pmd_none -- a hole -- and the zeroing goes unreported. A write-tracking checkpoint/migration tool (e.g. CRIU) then treats the range as unchanged and keeps its previous contents, so after restore or live migration the process reads stale data instead of zeroes -- data corruption. Report a hole in a non-hugetlb uffd-wp VMA as written, matching the pte_none handling in pagemap_page_category(); the existing PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING path then arms it via uffd_wp_range(). hugetlb is excluded: pagemap_hugetlb_category() reports an empty hugetlb entry (huge_pte_none) as not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category(), which reports pte_none as written. pagemap_scan_pte_hole() fires for a hugetlb slot only when it has no page table; keeping that not-written matches how an allocated-but-empty hugetlb entry reads, so the hole and the empty-entry cases agree within the VMA. Add a pagemap_ioctl selftest covering the anon-THP PMD-hole case. Reported-by: Sashiko AI review Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260707151349.92143-1-kirill@shutemov.name Fixes: 2bad466cc9d9 ("mm/uffd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED") Cc: Muhammad Usama Anjum Cc: Peter Xu Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kiryl Shutsemau Assisted-by: Claude:claude-fable-5 --- Changes since v2 [1], addressing Andrew's review: - Describe the user-visible effect: MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros semantics, so the range must be reported written; otherwise a checkpoint/migration tool (CRIU) keeps stale data and the process reads corrupted contents after restore. Add Reported-by/Closes. - Reword the hugetlb carve-out to rest on the category functions: pagemap_hugetlb_category() reads an empty hugetlb entry as not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category(). - Drop the redundant MADV_COLLAPSE fallback #define; it is in and used directly by other mm selftests. No functional change to the fix itself since v2.
