Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] SMP Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 68 Comm: khugepaged Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3+ #750 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x258/0x3f0 lr : page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x240/0x3f0 [...] Call trace: page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x258/0x3f0 __page_table_check_pmd_clear+0xbc/0x108 pmdp_collapse_flush+0xb0/0x160 collapse_huge_page+0xa08/0x1080 hpage_collapse_scan_pmd+0xf30/0x1590 khugepaged_scan_mm_slot.constprop.0+0x52c/0xac8 khugepaged+0x338/0x518 kthread+0x278/0x2f8 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [...] Since pmd_user_accessible_page() doesn't check if a pmd is leaf, it decrease file_map_count for a non-leaf pmd comes from collapse_huge_page(). and so trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly. Fix this problem by using pmd_leaf() insteal of pmd_present() in pmd_user_accessible_page(). Moreover, use pud_leaf() for pud_user_accessible_page() too.
