Against mm-hotfixes-stable for now. Discussing the PageTail() call in make_device_exclusive_range() with Willy, I recently discovered [1] that device-exclusive handling does not properly work with THP, making the hmm-tests selftests fail if THPs are enabled on the system. Looking into more details, I found that hugetlb is not properly fenced, and I realized that something that was bugging me for longer -- how device-exclusive entries interact with mapcounts -- completely breaks migration/swapout/split/hwpoison handling of these folios while they have device-exclusive PTEs. The program below can be used to allocate 1 GiB worth of pages and making them device-exclusive on a kernel with CONFIG_TEST_HMM. Once they are device-exclusive, these folios cannot get swapped out (proc$pid/smaps_rollup will always indicate 1 GiB RSS no matter how much one forces memory reclaim), and when having a memory block onlined to ZONE_MOVABLE, trying to offline it will loop forever and complain about failed migration of a page that should be movable. # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state # echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state # ./hmm-swap & ... wait until everything is device-exclusive # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory136/state [ 285.193431][T14882] page: refcount:2 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x7f20671f7 pfn:0x442b6a [ 285.196618][T14882] memcg:ffff888179298000 [ 285.198085][T14882] anon flags: 0x5fff0000002091c(referenced|uptodate| dirty|active|owner_2|swapbacked|node=1|zone=3|lastcpupid=0x7ff) [ 285.201734][T14882] raw: ...

This series fixes all issues I found so far. There is no easy way to fix without a bigger rework/cleanup. I have a bunch of cleanups on top (some previous sent, some the result of the discussion in v1) that I will send out separately once this landed and I get to it. I wish we could just use some special present PROT_NONE PTEs instead of
First off David thanks for finding and fixing these issues. If you have further clean-ups in mind that you need help with please let me know as I'd be happy to help.
these (non-present, non-none) fake-swap entries; but that just results in the same problem we keep having (lack of spare PTE bits), and staring at other similar fake-swap entries, that ship has sailed. With this series, make_device_exclusive() doesn't actually belong into mm/rmap.c anymore, but I'll leave moving that for another day. I only tested this series with the hmm-tests selftests due to lack of HW, so I'd appreciate some testing, especially if the interaction between two GPUs wanting a device-exclusive entry works as expected.
I'm still reviewing the series but so far testing on my single GPU system appears to be working as expected. I will try and fire up a dual GPU system tomorrow and test it there as well. - Alistair

v1 -> v2:
* "mm/rmap: convert make_device_exclusive_range() to make_device_exclusive()"
-> Fix and simplify return value handling when calling dmirror_atomic_map()
-> Fix parameter order when calling make_device_exclusive()
[both things were fixed by the separate cleanups I previously sent, realized
it when re-testing the fixes here only]
-> Heavily extend documentation of make_device_exclusive()
* "mm/rmap: implement make_device_exclusive() using folio_walk instead of
rmap walk"
-> Keep MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE, and update comments/description
* "mm/rmap: handle device-exclusive entries correctly in try_to_migrate_one()"
-> Handle PageHWPoison with device-private pages differently
* Added a bunch of "handle device-exclusive entries correctly" fixes,
now handling all page_vma_mapped_walk() callers correctly
* Added "mm/rmap: avoid -EBUSY from make_device_exclusive()" to fix some
hmm selftest failures I saw while testing under memory pressure
* Plenty of comment/description updates and improvements
