mm: fix folio_pte_batch() on XEN PV
On XEN PV, folio_pte_batch() can incorrectly batch beyond the end of a folio due to a corner case in pte_advance_pfn(). Specifically, when the PFN following the folio maps to an invalidated MFN, expected_pte = pte_advance_pfn(expected_pte, nr); produces a pte_none(). If the actual next PTE in memory is also pte_none(), the pte_same() succeeds, if (!pte_same(pte, expected_pte)) break; the loop is not broken, and batching continues into unrelated memory. For example, with a 4-page folio, the PTE layout might look like this: [ 53.465673] [ T2552] folio_pte_batch: printing PTE values at addr=0x7f1ac9dc5000 [ 53.465674] [ T2552] PTE[453] = 000000010085c125 [ 53.465679] [ T2552] PTE[454] = 000000010085d125 [ 53.465682] [ T2552] PTE[455] = 000000010085e125 [ 53.465684] [ T2552] PTE[456] = 000000010085f125 [ 53.465686] [ T2552] PTE[457] = 0000000000000000 <-- not present [ 53.465689] [ T2552] PTE[458] = 0000000101da7125 pte_advance_pfn(PTE[456]) returns a pte_none() due to invalid PFN->MFN mapping. The next actual PTE (PTE[457]) is also pte_none(), so the loop continues and includes PTE[457] in the batch, resulting in 5 batched entries for a 4-page folio. This triggers the following warning: [ 53.465751] [ T2552] page: refcount:85 mapcount:20 mapping:ffff88813ff4f6a8 index:0x110 pfn:0x10085c [ 53.465754] [ T2552] head: order:2 mapcount:80 entire_mapcount:0 nr_pages_mapped:4 pincount:0 [ 53.465756] [ T2552] memcg:ffff888003573000 [ 53.465758] [ T2552] aops:0xffffffff8226fd20 ino:82467c dentry name(?):"libc.so.6" [ 53.465761] [ T2552] flags: 0x2000000000416c(referenced|uptodate|lru|active|private|head|node=0|zone=2) [ 53.465764] [ T2552] raw: 002000000000416c ffffea0004021f08 ffffea0004021908 ffff88813ff4f6a8 [ 53.465767] [ T2552] raw: 0000000000000110 ffff888133d8bd40 0000005500000013 ffff888003573000 [ 53.465768] [ T2552] head: 002000000000416c ffffea0004021f08 ffffea0004021908 ffff88813ff4f6a8 [ 53.465770] [ T2552] head: 0000000000000110 ffff888133d8bd40 0000005500000013 ffff888003573000 [ 53.465772] [ T2552] head: 0020000000000202 ffffea0004021701 000000040000004f 00000000ffffffff [ 53.465774] [ T2552] head: 0000000300000003 8000000300000002 0000000000000013 0000000000000004 [ 53.465775] [ T2552] page dumped because: VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO((_Generic((page + nr_pages - 1), const struct page *: (const struct folio *)_compound_head(page + nr_pages - 1), struct page *: (struct folio *)_compound_head(page + nr_pages - 1))) != folio) Original code works as expected everywhere, except on XEN PV, where pte_advance_pfn() can yield a pte_none() after balloon inflation due to MFNs invalidation. In XEN, pte_advance_pfn() ends up calling __pte()->xen_make_pte()->pte_pfn_to_mfn(), which returns pte_none() when mfn == INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. The pte_pfn_to_mfn() documents that nastiness: If there's no mfn for the pfn, then just create an empty non-present pte. Unfortunately this loses information about the original pfn, so pte_mfn_to_pfn is asymmetric. While such hacks should certainly be removed, we can do better in folio_pte_batch() and simply check ahead of time how many PTEs we can possibly batch in our folio. This way, we can not only fix the issue but cleanup the code: removing the pte_pfn() check inside the loop body and avoiding end_ptr comparison + arithmetic.
