[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/gup: memfd: stop leaking pinned pages in low memory conditions
Posted by John Hubbard 1 month, 1 week ago
If check_and_migrate_movable_pages() fails, typically with -ENOMEM, then
memfd_pin_folios() will leave pages pinned. Those are leaked forever,
and are visible to user space as a memory leak.

Fix this by unpinning the folios that try_grab_folio(FOLL_PIN) has
pinned, in such error cases.

Fixes: 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios")
