A link to the debugging effort could be added to the change log: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ > The fix is to avoid move_normal_pmd() if we see that source and > destination ranges overlap.

If not, then we should add a warning here in the else IMHO: if (old_addr >= new_addr) { overlaps = old_addr - new_addr < len; } else { overlaps = new_addr - old_addr < len; WARN_ON(overlaps); } (More so, since you have added code that detects overlaps for such a case). thanks, - Joel > > old_end = old_addr + len; > flush_cache_range(vma, old_addr, old_end); > @@ -282,7 +294,7 @@ unsigned long move_page_tables(struct vm_area_struct *vma, > split_huge_pmd(vma, old_pmd, old_addr); > if (pmd_trans_unstable(old_pmd)) > continue; > - } else if (extent == PMD_SIZE) { > + } else if (!overlaps && extent == PMD_SIZE) { > #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD > /* > * If the extent is PMD-sized, try to speed the move by > -- > 2.26.2 > >
