Lokesh recently raised an issue about UFFDIO_MOVE getting into a deadlock state when it goes into split_folio() with raised folio refcount. split_folio() expects the reference count to be exactly mapcount + num_pages_in_folio + 1 (see can_split_folio()) and fails with EAGAIN otherwise. If multiple processes are trying to move the same large folio, they raise the refcount (all tasks succeed in that) then one of them succeeds in locking the folio, while others will block in folio_lock() while keeping the refcount raised. The winner of this race will proceed with calling split_folio() and will fail returning EAGAIN to the caller and unlocking the folio. The next competing process will get the folio locked and will go through the same flow. In the meantime the original winner will be retried and will block in folio_lock(), getting into the queue of waiting processes only to repeat the same path. All this results in a livelock. An easy fix would be to avoid waiting for the folio lock while holding folio refcount, similar to madvise_free_huge_pmd() where folio lock is acquired before raising the folio refcount. Since we lock and take a refcount of the folio while holding the PTE lock, changing the order of these operations should not break anything. Modify move_pages_pte() to try locking the folio first and if that fails and the folio is large then return EAGAIN without touching the folio refcount. If the folio is single-page then split_folio() is not called, so we don't have this issue. Lokesh has a reproducer [1] and I verified that this change fixes the issue.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
scripts/checkpatch.pl - Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:,BACKPORT:,FROMGIT:,FROMLIST:, orANDROID:. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:. - add upstream commit information with a
(cherry picked from commit ...)line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
- tag the patch subject with
important patch from upstream
