Message-ID: <20250601054732.AA0EAC4CEED@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix race with folio split/free using temporary reference
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-khugepaged-fix-race-with-folio-split-free-using-temporary-reference.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/khugepaged: fix race with folio split/free using temporary reference
Date: Mon, 26 May 2025 18:28:18 +0000
hpage_collapse_scan_file() calls is_refcount_suitable(), which in turn
calls folio_mapcount(). folio_mapcount() checks folio_test_large() before
proceeding to folio_large_mapcount(), but there is a race window where the
folio may get split/freed between these checks, triggering:
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio)
Take a temporary reference to the folio in hpage_collapse_scan_file().
This stabilizes the folio during refcount check and prevents incorrect
large folio detection due to concurrent split/free. Use helper
folio_expected_ref_count() + 1 to compare with folio_ref_count() instead
of using is_refcount_suitable().
