Subject: Claude review: drm/gem-shmem: Test for existence of page in mmap fault handler
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:04:33 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <review-patch2-20260209133241.238813-3-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260209133241.238813-3-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Patch Review
**Review:**
This adds important defensive programming by checking for NULL pages:
```c
+ page = pages[page_offset];
+ if (drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !page))
+ goto out;
```
**Concern 1 - Error path behavior:**
The patch changes the default return value to `VM_FAULT_SIGBUS`:
```c
- vm_fault_t ret;
+ vm_fault_t ret = VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
```
This means if the function takes an early error path, it returns SIGBUS. However, looking at the existing error cases:
```c
if (page_offset >= num_pages || drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !shmem->pages) ||
shmem->madv < 0)
goto out;
```
**Question:** Is VM_FAULT_SIGBUS the correct return for all these cases? The `madv < 0` case indicates the object was marked as "don't need", which traditionally should return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS. But are the other cases correctly signaling a bus error to userspace?
**Concern 2 - Variable declaration style:**
```c
+ pgoff_t page_offset = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff; /* page offset within VMA */
```
The comment is helpful, but mixing initialized and uninitialized variable declarations:
```c
+ vm_fault_t ret = VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
+ struct page **pages = shmem->pages;
+ pgoff_t page_offset = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff;
+ struct page *page;
+ unsigned long pfn;
```
This is acceptable but slightly inconsistent with kernel style which often groups declarations.
**Concern 3 - WARN_ON vs error handling:**
```c
+ if (drm_WARN_ON_ONCE(dev, !page))
+ goto out;
```
This uses `drm_WARN_ON_ONCE` which is appropriate for "should never happen" conditions. However, **when can `page` be NULL?** If this is a legitimate error condition (e.g., race with page eviction), WARN might be too noisy. If it's truly never supposed to happen, this is correct.
**Verdict:** ⚠ Needs clarification on the NULL page scenario and whether WARN is appropriate
