[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb_vmemmap-fix-a-race-between-vmemmap-pmd-split.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: fix a race between vmemmap pmd split
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2023 11:38:59 +0800

The local variable @page in __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() to obtain a pmd
page without holding page_table_lock may possiblely get the page table
page instead of a huge pmd page.

The effect may be in set_pte_at() since we may pass an invalid page
struct, if set_pte_at() wants to access the page struct (e.g. 
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK is enabled), it may crash the kernel.

So fix it.  And inline __split_vmemmap_huge_pmd() since it only has one
user.
