Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] mm/vmalloc: undo partial mappings inside the mapping functions
Date: Fri,  9 Oct 2026 14:36:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009063619.112313-3-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009063619.112313-1-hao.ge@linux.dev>

__vmap_pages_range_noflush() and friends can install some PTEs before
failing and leave them mapped, and the kernel callers do not agree on
who cleans them up. pcpu_map_pages() and kmsan_ioremap_page_range()
roll back what they mapped before the failure, while
vm_module_tags_populate() and the __GFP_NOFAIL retry loop in
__vmalloc_area_node() rely on the mapping functions cleaning up and
do not call anything like vunmap_range() themselves. When the same
range is mapped again, the attempt hits the leftovers and fails, with
a BUG() in vmap_pte_range() for huge mappings and a warning on the
small-page path.

After discussing with Suren and Ulad, we decided to put the rollback
into the entry points of the vmap API rather than into every low-level
helper. __vmap_pages_range_noflush() undoes the whole range it was
asked to map when it fails, and vmap_page_range() undoes its range
for the ioremap-style mappings.

The rollback is __vunmap_range_noflush(), it only clears the PTEs,
no TLB flush, nothing has touched these mappings.
vmap_pages_range_noflush() drops the KMSAN metadata when the data
mapping fails, and an empty range bails out with -EINVAL now, which
used to BUG_ON() on the small-page path and map nothing at all on
the huge-page one.
