Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/huge_memory: set the mmu_gather page size in zap_huge_pud()
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:52:49 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c872f6fdbabe92c1171f3b25448e15247ec34a21.1793070429.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)

Unmapping a device-dax mapping with 1G alignment on powerpc radix kernel
built with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM triggers this warning on every munmap:

    WARNING: mm/mmu_gather.c:176 at __tlb_remove_folio_pages_size+0x38/0x230
    NIP [c00000000063d508] __tlb_remove_folio_pages_size+0x38/0x230

     sys_munmap+0x28/0x40

To trigger this - it is enough to mmap() /dev/dax0.0, touch the first
byte so that the whole 1G is mapped by a single PUD and then munmap()
it.

PowerPC needs MMU_GATHER_PAGE_SIZE in which mmu_gather needs to record
the page size for which tlb flush is needed. zap_huge_pmd(),
zap_pte_range(), change_huge_pud() etc all do this already. However,
since commit:
  dbe54153296d ("mm/huge_memory: add vmf_insert_folio_pud()")

a device-dax PUD maps a real folio and zap_huge_pud() now hands it to
tlb_remove_page_size(tlb, page, HPAGE_PUD_SIZE). At that point
tlb->page_size is still whatever the previous user left behind, which is
0 for the fresh gather set up by munmap() and so the check fires.

Fix this in the same way like how other similar paths does.
