Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2026 21:55:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-v4-0-a5bc7db5a9b2@google.com> (raw)

Here's a fourth revision to fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure.

This patch series addresses an issue in the memory failure handling path
where MF_DELAYED is incorrectly treated as an error. This issue was
discovered while testing memory failure handling for guest_memfd.

The proposed solution involves -
1. Clarifying the definition of MF_DELAYED to mean that memory failure
   handling is only partially completed, and that the metadata for the
   memory that failed (as in struct page/folio) is still referenced.
2. Updating shmem’s handling to align with the clarified definition.
3. Updating how the result of .error_remove_folio() is interpreted.

Changes from v3:
+ Split an independent guest_memfd_memory_failure_test, as suggested by
  Ackerley and Sean
+ Align error logging style in truncate_error_folio, as suggested by
  Miaohe and David
+ Verify a clean shmem page can be read successfully after soft-offline
  memory failure, as suggested by Miaohe
Thanks!

+ RFC v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260408-memory-failure-mf-delayed-fix-rfc-v3-v3-0-718f45eb7c75@google.com/
