From 74207de2ba10c2973334906822dc94d2e859ffc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kiryl Shutsemau Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:56:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory: do not populate page table entries beyond i_size Patch series "Fix SIGBUS semantics with large folios", v3. Accessing memory within a VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to the next page size, is supposed to generate SIGBUS. Darrick reported[1] an xfstests regression in v6.18-rc1. generic/749 failed due to missing SIGBUS. This was caused by my recent changes that try to fault in the whole folio where possible: 19773df031bc ("mm/fault: try to map the entire file folio in finish_fault()") 357b92761d94 ("mm/filemap: map entire large folio faultaround") These changes did not consider i_size when setting up PTEs, leading to xfstest breakage. However, the problem has been present in the kernel for a long time - since huge tmpfs was introduced in 2016. The kernel happily maps PMD-sized folios as PMD without checking i_size. And huge=always tmpfs allocates PMD-size folios on any writes. I considered this corner case when I implemented a large tmpfs, and my conclusion was that no one in their right mind should rely on receiving a SIGBUS signal when accessing beyond i_size. I cannot imagine how it could be useful for the workload. But apparently filesystem folks care a lot about preserving strict SIGBUS semantics. Generic/749 was introduced last year with reference to POSIX, but no real workloads were mentioned. It also acknowledged the tmpfs deviation from the test case. POSIX indeed says[3]: References within the address range starting at pa and continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal. The patchset fixes the regression introduced by recent changes as well as more subtle SIGBUS breakage due to split failure on truncation. This patch (of 2): Accesses within VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to PAGE_SIZE are supposed to generate SIGBUS. Recent changes attempted to fault in full folio where possible. They did not respect i_size, which led to populating PTEs beyond i_size and breaking SIGBUS semantics. Darrick reported generic/749 breakage because of this. However, the problem existed before the recent changes. With huge=always tmpfs, any write to a file leads to PMD-size allocation. Following the fault-in of the folio will install PMD mapping regardless of i_size. Fix filemap_map_pages() and finish_fault() to not install: - PTEs beyond i_size; - PMD mappings across i_size; Make an exception for shmem/tmpfs that for long time intentionally mapped with PMDs across i_size.
