However, it's called\nwithout folio lock.  If the folio is migrated and the mapped pte has been\nconverted to migration entry, folio_mapped() returns false, and won't\nunmap it.  Due to extra refcount held by remove_inode_single_folio,\nmigration fails, restores migration entry to normal pte, and the folio is\nmapped again.  As a result, we triggered BUG in filemap_unaccount_folio.\n\nThe log is as follows:\n BUG: Bad page cache in process hugetlb  pfn:156c00\n page: refcount:515 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000099fef6e1 index:0x0 pfn:0x156c00\n head: order:9 mapcount:1 entire_mapcount:1 nr_pages_mapped:0 pincount:0\n aops:hugetlbfs_aops ino:dcc dentry name(?):\"my_hugepage_file\"\n flags: 0x17ffffc00000c1(locked|waiters|head|node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1fffff)\n page_type: f4(hugetlb)\n page dumped because: still mapped when deleted\n CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 395 Comm: hugetlb Not tainted 6.17.0-rc5-00044-g7aac71907bde-dirty #484 NONE\n Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015\n Call Trace:\n  <TASK>\n  dump_stack_lvl+0x4f/0x70\n  filemap_unaccount_folio+0xc4/0x1c0\n  __filemap_remove_folio+0x38/0x1c0\n  filemap_remove_folio+0x41/0xd0\n  remove_inode_hugepages+0x142/0x250\n  hugetlbfs_fallocate+0x471/0x5a0\n  vfs_fallocate+0x149/0x380\n\nHold folio lock before checking if the folio is mapped to avold race with\nmigration.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/21ee79ce938127f88fe07e409c1817f477dbe7ea","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e851448078f5b01f6264915df3cfef75e323a12","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b7387650dcf2881fd8bb55bcf3c8bd6c9542dd7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/910d7749346c4b0acdc6e4adfdc4a9984281a206","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91f548e920fbf8be3f285bfa3fa045ae017e836d"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-40006","score":0.00202,"percentile":0.0998,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
