Since 5.16 and prior to 6.13 KVM can't be used with FSDAX guest memory (PMD pages). To reproduce the issue you need to reserve guest memory with `memmap=` cmdline, create and mount FS in DAX mode (tested both XFS and ext4), see doc link below. ndctl command for test: ndctl create-namespace -v -e namespace1.0 --map=dev --mode=fsdax -a 2M Then pass memory object to qemu like: -m 8G -object memory-backend-file,id=ram0,size=8G,\ mem-path=/mnt/pmem/guestmem,share=on,prealloc=on,dump=off,align=2097152 \ -numa node,memdev=ram0,cpus=0-1 QEMU fails to run guest with error: kvm run failed Bad address and there are two warnings in dmesg: WARN_ON_ONCE(!page_count(page)) in kvm_is_zone_device_page() and WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_ref_count(folio) <= 0) in try_grab_folio() (v6.6.63) It looks like in the past assumption was made that pfn won't change from faultin_pfn() to release_pfn_clean(), e.g. see commit4cd071d13c("KVM: x86/mmu: Move calls to thp_adjust() down a level") But kvm_page_fault structure made pfn part of mutable state, so now release_pfn_clean() can take hugepage-adjusted pfn. And it works for all cases (/dev/shm, hugetlb, devdax) except fsdax. Apparently in fsdax mode faultin-pfn and adjusted-pfn may refer to different folios, so we're getting get_page/put_page imbalance. To solve this preserve faultin pfn in separate local variable and pass it in kvm_release_pfn_clean(). Patch tested for all mentioned guest memory backends with tdp_mmu={0,1}. No bug in upstream as it was solved fundamentally by commit 8dd861cc07e2 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Put refcounted pages instead of blindly releasing pfns") and related patch series.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
